rcu/exp: Remove redundant full memory barrier at the end of GP
A full memory barrier is necessary at the end of the expedited grace period to order: 1) The grace period completion (pictured by the GP sequence number) with all preceding accesses. This pairs with rcu_seq_end() performed by the concurrent kworker. 2) The grace period completion and subsequent post-GP update side accesses. Pairs again against rcu_seq_end(). This full barrier is already provided by the final sync_exp_work_done() test, making the subsequent explicit one redundant. Remove it and improve comments.
