rcu: Separate the RCU synchronization types and APIs into <linux/rcupdate_wait.h>
So rcupdate.h is a pretty complex header, in particular it includes
<linux/completion.h> which includes <linux/wait.h> - creating a
dependency that includes <linux/wait.h> in <linux/sched.h>,
which prevents the isolation of <linux/sched.h> from the derived
<linux/wait.h> header.
Solve part of the problem by decoupling rcupdate.h from completions:
this can be done by separating out the rcu_synchronize types and APIs,
and updating their usage sites.
Since this is a mostly RCU-internal types this will not just simplify
<linux/sched.h>'s dependencies, but will make all the hundreds of
.c files that include rcupdate.h but not completions or wait.h build
faster.
( For rcutiny this means that two dependent APIs have to be uninlined,
but that shouldn't be much of a problem as they are rare variants. )
