rcu: Support kfree_bulk() interface in kfree_rcu()

Browse Source 
The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.

The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
  reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
  per-object.

- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
  between objects which can be far spread between each other.

This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.

Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.

The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.

The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

1) Testing on the Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2135 CPU @ 3.70GHz, 12xCPUs
with following parameters:

kfree_loops=200000 kfree_alloc_num=1000 kfree_rcu_test=1 kfree_vary_obj_size=1

50660403893 ns, loops: 200000, batches: 1628, memory footprint: 429MB

in case of CONFIG_SLAB there is double increase in performance and
slightly higher memory usage. As for CONFIG_SLUB, the performance
figures are better together with lower memory usage.

2) Testing on the HiKey-960, arm64, 8xCPUs with below parameters:

CONFIG_SLAB=y
kfree_loops=200000 kfree_alloc_num=1000 kfree_rcu_test=1

102898760401 ns, loops: 200000, batches: 5822, memory footprint: 158MB
89947009882  ns, loops: 200000, batches: 6715, memory footprint: 115MB

rcuperf shows approximately ~12% better throughput in case of
using "bulk" interface. The "drain logic" or its RCU callback
does the work faster that leads to better throughput.
