Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/16] cpu: Wait for RCU grace periods concurrently

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, _cpu_down() waits for RCU and
RCU-sched grace periods back-to-back, incurring quite a bit more latency
than required.  This commit therefore uses the new synchronize_rcu_mult()
to allow waiting for both grace periods concurrently.
