rcu: Remove leg of force_quiescent_state() switch statement

The comparisons of rsp->gpnum nad rsp->completed in
rcu_process_dyntick() and force_quiescent_state() can be
replaced by the much more clear rcu_gp_in_progress() predicate
function.  After doing this, it becomes clear that the
RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's
switch statement is almost completely a no-op.  A small change
to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after
which it can be removed.  Doing so also eliminates the forcenow
local variable from force_quiescent_state().
