Note that in my module I am using the kernel version 3.16.0-31 (I ported 
your change).
Here the results of my benchmark that tests rculist in the case of read 
only.

# 1st column : The number of threads

I get same performance with my patch.
So indeed it fixes the performance problem I was seeing.

Thanks a lot!
