rcu_sync: Introduce rcu_sync_dtor()
This commit allows rcu_sync structures to be safely deallocated, The trick is to add a new ->wait field to the gp_ops array. This field is a pointer to the rcu_barrier() function corresponding to the flavor of RCU in question. This allows a new rcu_sync_dtor() to wait for any outstanding callbacks before freeing the rcu_sync structure.
