rcu: reduce __call_rcu()-induced contention on rcu_node structures

Browse Source 
When the current __call_rcu() function was written, the expedited
APIs did not exist.  The __call_rcu() implementation therefore went
to great lengths to detect the end of old grace periods and to start
new ones, all in the name of reducing grace-period latency.  Now the
expedited APIs do exist, and the usage of __call_rcu() has increased
considerably.  This commit therefore causes __call_rcu() to avoid
worrying about grace periods unless there are a large number of
RCU callbacks stacked up on the current CPU.
