[PATCH 05/11] rcu: clean all rcu_read_unlock_special after report qs

[Lai Jiangshan]

rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() is always called when
->rcu_read_lock_nesting <= 0 and there is nothing to prevent it
from reporting qs if needed which means ->rcu_read_unlock_special
is better to be clearred after the function. But in some cases,
it leaves exp_hint (for example, after rcu_note_context_switch()),
which is harmess since it is just a hint, but it may also intruduce
unneeded rcu_read_unlock_special() later.

The new code write to exp_hint without WRITE_ONCE() since the
writing is protected by irq.
