rcu: Need to update rnp->gpnum if preemptable RCU is to be reliable

Without this patch, tasks preempted in RCU read-side critical
sections can fail to block the grace period, given that
rnp->gpnum is used to determine which rnp->blocked_tasks[]
element the preempted task is enqueued on.

Before the patch, rnp->gpnum is always zero, so preempted tasks
are always enqueued on rnp->blocked_tasks[0], which is correct
only when the current CPU has not checked into the current
grace period and the grace-period number is even, or,
similarly, if the current CPU -has- checked into the current
grace period and the grace-period number is odd.
