Applied, thank you!

I edited the commit log a bit.  Could you please check below to make
sure that I didn't mess anything up?

							Thanx, Paul

commit d9eaddf545fe8e3e2725e2fa0bf87b59b5667c14

    rcu: Initialize and destroy rcu_synchronize only when necessary
    
    The __wait_rcu_gp() function unconditionally initializes and cleans up
    each element of rs_array[], whether used or not.  This is slightly
    wasteful and rather confusing, so this commit skips both initialization
    and cleanup for duplicate callback functions.
