rcu-tasks: Remove second argument of rcu_read_unlock_trace_special()

The second argument of rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() is always zero. When called from exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace(), it is the constant zero, and rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() doesn't get called from rcu_read_unlock_trace() unless the value of local variable "nesting" is zero because in that case the early return is taken instead. This commit therefore removes the "nesting" argument from the rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() function, substituting the constant zero within that function. This commit also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to rcu_read_lock_trace_held() in case non-zeroness some day appears. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <[email protected]>
