Subject: [PATCH bpf] Use call_rcu_hurry() with synchronize_rcu_mult()

The bpf_struct_ops_map_free() function must wait for both an RCU grace
period and an RCU Tasks grace period, and so it passes call_rcu() and
call_rcu_tasks() to synchronize_rcu_mult().  This works, but on ChromeOS
and Android platforms call_rcu() can have lazy semantics, resulting in
multi-second delays between call_rcu() invocation and invocation of the
corresponding callback.

Therefore, substitute call_rcu_hurry() for call_rcu().
