srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time
If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.
This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!
