Subject: [PATCH rcu 16/20] srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time

If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time.  This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time.  On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.

This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case.  Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!

[ paulmck: Apply Zhang, Qiang1 feedback on memory leak. ]
