Subject: [RFC PATCH] rcu: move SRCU grace period work to power efficient workqueue

From: Shaibal Dutta <shaibal.dutta@...adcom.com>

For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU
on which the SRCU grace period work would be scheduled. This improves
idle residency time and conserves power.

This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.

message. Fixed code alignment.]
