[PATCH] rcu: simplify/improve batch tuning
Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
last rcu_start_batch().
Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.
On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.
