rcu: increase synchronize_sched_expedited() batching

The fix in commit #6a0cc49 requires more than three concurrent instances
of synchronize_sched_expedited() before batching is possible.  This
patch uses a ticket-counter-like approach that is also not unrelated to
Lai Jiangshan's Ring RCU to allow sharing of expedited grace periods even
when there are only two concurrent instances of synchronize_sched_expedited().

This commit builds on Tejun's original posting, which may be found at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/9/204, adding memory barriers, avoiding
overflow of signed integers (other than via atomic_t), and fixing the
detection of batching.
