Hmmm. I think SRCU should be used when kernel has to sleep, and sleep time
will be bigger than SRCU's overhead.....

The followings are results of unixbench and lmbench.
I suppose my patch impacts lantency rather than throghput.
In these results, 100fd select and page fault latencies of lmbench became worse.
So I can't say there is no problem in my patches.

Anyway, I'll retry to find other less impact way if there is,
and compare benchmark results with this way.

Bye.
