srcu: Prevent redundant __srcu_read_unlock() wakeup

Tiny SRCU readers can appear at task level, but also in interrupt and
softirq handlers.  Because Tiny SRCU is selected only in kernels built
with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, it is not possible for a grace
period to start while there is a non-task-level SRCU reader executing.
This means that it does not make sense for __srcu_read_unlock() to awaken
the Tiny SRCU grace period, because that can only happen when the grace
period is waiting for one value of ->srcu_idx and __srcu_read_unlock()
is ending the last reader for some other value of ->srcu_idx.  After all,
any such wakeup will be redundant.

Worse yet, in some cases, such wakeups generate lockdep splats:

This is a false positive because there is only one CPU, and both locks
are raw (non-preemptible) spinlocks.  However, it is worthwhile getting
rid of the redundant wakeup, which has the side effect of breaking
the theoretical deadlock cycle.  This commit therefore eliminates the
redundant wakeups.
