Good catch!!! Applied for testing and review.

I had to hand-apply this patch as well, and also fill out the commit log.
In addition, in the future, please capitalize the word in the Subject
line following the colon (":"). Please see below for the updated commit
and again please let me know if I messed something up.

Thanx, Paul

srcu: Reduce scans of srcu_data in counter wrap check

Currently, given a multi-level srcu_node tree, SRCU can scan the full
set of srcu_data structures at each level when cleaning up after a grace
period. This, though harmless otherwise, represents pointless overhead.
This commit therefore eliminates this overhead by scanning the srcu_data
structures only when traversing the leaf srcu_node structures.
