rcu: Fix warning in rcu_seq_end()

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited().  The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq.  The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.

Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.
