Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] kvfree_rcu: Add a bulk-list check when a scheduler is run

RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING is set when a scheduling is available.
That signal is used in order to check and queue a "monitor work"
to reclaim freed objects(if they are) during a boot-up phase.

We have it because, the main path of the kvfree_rcu() call can
not queue the work untill the scheduler is up and running.

Currently in such helper only "krcp->head" is checked to figure
out if there are outstanding objects to be released. And this is
only one channel. After adding a bulk interface there are two
extra which have to be checked also: "krcp->bkvhead[0]" as well
as "krcp->bkvhead[1]". So, we have to queue the "monitor work"
if _any_ corresponding channel is not empty.
