Each Tasks RCU flavor keeps a count of the number of callbacks that the current rcu_barrier_tasks*() is waiting on, but there is currently no easy way to work out which callback is stuck. One way to do this is to mark idle RCU-barrier callbacks by making the ->next pointer point to the callback itself, and this commit does just that. Later commits will use this for debug output.
