rcu: Implement per-domain single-threaded call_srcu() state machine
This commit implements an SRCU state machine in support of call_srcu(). The state machine is preemptible, light-weight, and single-threaded, minimizing synchronization overhead. In particular, there is no longer any need for synchronize_srcu() to be guarded by a mutex. Expedited processing is handled, at least in the absence of concurrent grace-period operations on that same srcu_struct structure, by having the synchronize_srcu_expedited() thread take on the role of the workqueue thread for one iteration. There is a reasonable probability that a given SRCU callback will be invoked on the same CPU that registered it, however, there is no guarantee. Concurrent SRCU grace-period primitives can cause callbacks to be executed elsewhere, even in absence of CPU-hotplug operations. Callbacks execute in process context, but under the influence of local_bh_disable(), so it is illegal to sleep in an SRCU callback function.
