rcu: Make call_rcu() lazy to save power
Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.
By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.
The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.
To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.
