rcu: Add comments to final rcu_gp_cleanup() "if" statement 

The final "if" statement in rcu_gp_cleanup() has proven to be rather
confusing, straightforward though it might have seemed when initially
written.  This commit therefore adds comments to its "then" and "else"
clauses to at least provide a more elevated form of confusion.
