rcu: Abstract the dynticks momentary-idle operation
This commit is the first step towards full abstraction of all accesses to the ->dynticks counter, implementing the previously open-coded atomic add of two in a new rcu_dynticks_momentary_idle() function. This abstraction will ease changes to the ->dynticks counter operation. Note that this commit gets rid of the smp_mb__before_atomic() and the smp_mb__after_atomic() calls that were previously present. The reason that this is OK from a memory-ordering perspective is that the atomic operation is now atomic_add_return(), which, as a value-returning atomic, guarantees full ordering.
