Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle. By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users, for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior. The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will flush it in a future patch. To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.
