rcu-tasks: Don't delete holdouts within trc_inspect_reader()
As Yanfei pointed out, although invoking trc_del_holdout() is safe from the viewpoint of the integrity of the holdout list itself, the put_task_struct() invoked by trc_del_holdout() can result in use-after-free errors due to later accesses to this task_struct structure by the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread. This commit therefore removes this call to trc_del_holdout() from trc_inspect_reader() in favor of the grace-period thread's existing call to trc_del_holdout(), thus eliminating that particular class of use-after-free errors.
