It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to return false. For example, the caller might store a separate flag that indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu() determined that the relevant grace period had already ended. This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get wrong. This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always return true. This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true. It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.
