srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace periods
Commit 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU") fixed a problem where a long-running expedited SRCU grace period could block kernel live patching. It did so by giving up on expediting once a given SRCU expedited grace period grew too old. Unfortunately, this added excessive delays to boots of virtual embedded systems specifying "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" to qemu. This commit therefore makes the transition away from expediting less aggressive, increasing the per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping polls of readers from one to three and increasing the required grace-period age from one jiffy (actually from zero to one jiffies) to two jiffies (actually from one to two jiffies).
