rcu: Set rcu_data structures' initial ->gpwrap value to true
It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields. Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far. This means that if there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted. This commit therefore sets each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus for a suitable level of distrust. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
