Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove unused macros from rcupdate.h

ulong2long, USHORT_CMP_GE and USHORT_CMP_LT are redundant and have been
unused for quite a few releases.

Just a boring chore patch that cleans up a few unused macros.

I'm *very* interested in knowing how that ulong2long macro came along,
though. What was wrong with '(long) a'?
