rcu: Eliminate the unused __rcu_is_watching() function

The __rcu_is_watching() function is currently not used, aside from
to implement the rcu_is_watching() function.  This commit therefore
eliminates __rcu_is_watching(), which has the beneficial side-effect
of shrinking include/linux/rcupdate.h a bit.
