ACPI / osl: speedup grace period in acpi_os_map_cleanup
ACPI maintains cache of ioremap regions to speed up operations and
access to them from irq context where ioremap() calls aren't allowed.
This code abuses synchronize_rcu() on unmap path for synchronization
with fast-path in acpi_os_read/write_memory which uses this cache.
Since v3.10 CPUs are allowed to enter idle state even if they have RCU
callbacks queued, see commit c0f4dfd4f90f1667d234d21f15153ea09a2eaa66
("rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks").
That change caused problems with nvidia proprietary driver which calls
acpi_os_map/unmap_generic_address several times during initialization.
Each unmap calls synchronize_rcu and adds significant delay. Totally
initialization is slowed for a couple of seconds and that is enough to
trigger timeout in hardware, gpu decides to "fell off the bus". Widely
spread workaround is reducing "rcu_idle_gp_delay" from 4 to 1 jiffy.
This patch replaces synchronize_rcu() with synchronize_rcu_expedited()
which is much faster.
