rcu classic: simplify the next pending batch
use a batch number(rcp->pending) instead of a flag(rcp->next_pending)
rcu_start_batch() need to change this flag, so mb()s is needed
for memory-access safe.
but(after this patch applied) rcu_start_batch() do not change
this batch number(rcp->pending), rcp->pending is managed by
__rcu_process_callbacks only, and troublesome mb()s are eliminated.
And codes look simpler and clearer.
