rcu: reduce __call_rcu()-induced contention on rcu_node structures
When the current __call_rcu() function was written, the expedited APIs did not exist. The __call_rcu() implementation therefore went to great lengths to detect the end of old grace periods and to start new ones, all in the name of reducing grace-period latency. Now the expedited APIs do exist, and the usage of __call_rcu() has increased considerably. This commit therefore causes __call_rcu() to avoid worrying about grace periods unless there are a large number of RCU callbacks stacked up on the current CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
