From: Ildar Ismagilov <devi...@gmail.com>

SRCU checks each srcu_data structure's grace-period number for counter
wrap four times per cycle by default.  This frequency guarantees that
normal comparisons will detect potential wrap.  However, the expedited
grace-period number is not checked.  The consquences are not too horrible
(a failure to expedite a grace period when requested), but it would be
good to avoid such things.  This commit therefore adds this check to
the expedited grace-period number.
