Antti P Miettinen 3705b88db0 rcu: Add a module parameter to force use of expedited RCU primitives
There have been some embedded applications that would benefit from
use of expedited grace-period primitives.  In some ways, this is
similar to synchronize_net() doing either a normal or an expedited
grace period depending on lock state, but with control outside of
the kernel.

This commit therefore adds rcu_expedited boot and sysfs parameters
that cause the kernel to substitute expedited primitives for the
normal grace-period primitives.

[ paulmck: Add trace/event/rcu.h to kernel/srcu.c to avoid build error.
	   Get rid of infinite loop through contention path.]

* The rest of the bits could in principle be used to count interrupts,

* We therefore provide a two-bit guard field defined by DYNTICK_TASK_MASK
* that is set to DYNTICK_TASK_FLAG upon initial exit from idle.
* The DYNTICK_TASK_EXIT_IDLE value is thus the combined value used upon
* initial exit from idle.
