rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu()
Switch for using of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() pair to debug a normal synchronize_rcu() call. Just using "not" full APIs to identify if a grace period is passed or not might lead to a false-positive kernel splat. It can happen, because get_state_synchronize_rcu() compresses both normal and expedited states into one single unsigned long value, so a poll_state_synchronize_rcu() can miss GP-completion when synchronize_rcu()/synchronize_rcu_expedited() concurrently run. To address this, switch to poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() APIs, which use separate variables for expedited and normal states.
