rcu: Make expedited GP CPU stoppage asynchronous
Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.
