rcu: Make expedited RCU CPU selection avoid unnecessary stores

This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()
to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data
structures.  This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of
two on an old x86 system.  In the case where the system is mostly
idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the
synchronize_rcu_expedited().  There is less benefit on busy systems
because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second
loop dominates in that case.

However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving
RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is
mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing.

While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments
used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro.
