markers: re-enable fast batch registration
Lai Jiangshan discovered a reentrancy issue with markers and fixed it by adding synchronize_sched() calls at each registration/unregistraiton. It works, but it removes the ability to do batch registration/unregistration and can cause registration of ~100 markers to take about 30 seconds on a loaded machine (synchronize_sched() is much slower on such workloads). This patch implements a version of the fix which won't slow down marker batch registration/unregistration. It also go back to the original non-synchronized reg/unreg.
