srcu: Use rcu_seq_done_exact() for polling API



poll_state_synchronize_srcu() uses rcu_seq_done() unlike
poll_state_synchronize_rcu() which uses rcu_seq_done_exact().

The  rcu_seq_done_exact() makes more sense for polling API, as with
this API, there is a higher chance that there is a significant delay
between the get_state..() and poll_state..() calls since a cookie
can be stored and reused at a later time. During such a delay, if
the gp_seq counter progresses more than ULONG_MAX/2 distance, then
poll_state..() may return false for a long time unwantedly.

Fix by using the more accurate rcu_seq_done_exact() API which is
exactly what straight RCU's polling does.

It may make sense, as future work, to add debug code here as well, where
we compare a physical timestamp between get_state..() and poll_state()
calls and yell if significant time has past but the grace period has
still not progressed.
