rcu: Force wakeup of rcu_gp_kthread at grace-period end
The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() refuses to do a wakeup unless at least
one of the ->gp_flags bits are set, which normally will not be the
case when the last quiescent state is reported. This results in
up to a 3-jiffy delay given default Kconfig settings. This commit
therefore has rcu_report_qs_rsp() set RCU_GP_FLAG_FQS before invoking
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in order to force a more immediate wakeup at
grace-period end, thus reducing grace-period latencies.
