It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure
from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the
boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields.
Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the
rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in
all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far. This means that if
there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in
the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted. This commit therefore sets
each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus
for a suitable level of distrust.
