rcu: Add exp_funnel_lock() fastpath
This commit speeds up the low-contention case, especially for systems with large rcu_node trees, by attempting to directly acquire the ->exp_mutex. This fastpath checks the leaves and root first in order to avoid excessive memory contention on the mutex itself. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
