rseq/membarrier: Add MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ

This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul
Turner and Andrew Hunter.

When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is
sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no
longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be
two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another
one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g.  garbage
collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are
swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that
the previously active list is no longer accessed.

This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall
issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical
section on the CPU.
