Subject: [PATCH 09/16] srcu: Add srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

This patch adds srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), which
dispense with the read-side smp_mb() but also are restricted to code
regions that RCU is watching.  If a given srcu_struct structure uses
srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), it is not permitted
to use any other SRCU read-side marker, before, during, or after.

Another price of light-weight readers is heavier weight grace periods.
Such readers mean that SRCU grace periods on srcu_struct structures
used by light-weight readers will incur at least two calls to
synchronize_rcu().  In addition, normal SRCU grace periods for
light-weight-reader srcu_struct structures never auto-expedite.
Note that expedited SRCU grace periods for light-weight-reader
srcu_struct structures still invoke synchronize_rcu(), not
synchronize_srcu_expedited().  Something about wishing to keep
the IPIs down to a dull roar.

The srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite() functions may not
(repeat, *not*) be used from NMI handlers, but if this is needed, an
additional flavor of SRCU reader can be added by some future commit.
