Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] block: kill extra rcu lock/unlock in queue enter

blk_try_enter_queue() already takes rcu_read_lock/unlock, so we can
avoid the second pair in percpu_ref_tryget_live(), use a newly added
percpu_ref_tryget_live_rcu().

As rcu_read_lock/unlock imply barrier()s, it's pretty noticeable,
especially for for !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU (default for some distributions),
where __rcu_read_lock/unlock() are not inlined.

3.20%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rcu_read_unlock
3.05%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rcu_read_lock

2.52%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rcu_read_unlock
2.28%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rcu_read_lock
