Paul E. McKenney 765a3f4fed rcu: Provide grace-period piggybacking API
The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU:

1.	Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers.

2.	Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period.

3.	Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above
	have completed.

Here are some things that could currently be done:

a.	Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above.
	This works, but imposes needless work and latency.

b.	Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then
	wait for the wakeup at #3.  This works well, but likely results
	in an extra unneeded grace period.  Open-coding this is also
	a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good.

This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs.  Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1
above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above.
This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has
elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and
memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

* synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited - Brute-force RCU-bh grace period

* Wait for an RCU-bh grace period to elapse, but use a "big hammer"
* approach to force the grace period to end quickly. This consumes
* significant time on all CPUs and is unfriendly to real-time workloads,
* so is thus not recommended for any sort of common-case code. In fact,
* if you are using synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited() in a loop, please
* restructure your code to batch your updates, and then use a single
* synchronize_rcu_bh() instead.
*
* Note that it is illegal to call this function while holding any lock
* that is acquired by a CPU-hotplug notifier. And yes, it is also illegal
* to call this function from a CPU-hotplug notifier. Failing to observe
* these restriction will result in deadlock.
