rcu: Eliminate __rcu_pending() false positives 

Now that there are both ->gpnum and ->completed fields in the
rcu_node structure, __rcu_pending() should check rdp->gpnum and
rdp->completed against rnp->gpnum and rdp->completed, respectively,
instead of the prior comparison against the rcu_state fields
rsp->gpnum and rsp->completed.

Given the old comparison, __rcu_pending() could return 1, resulting
in a needless raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ).  This useless work would
happen if RCU responded to a scheduling-clock interrupt after the
rcu_state fields had been updated, but before the rcu_node fields
had been updated.

Changing the comparison from the rcu_state fields to the rcu_node
fields prevents this useless work from happening.
