rcu: optimize rcutiny
rcu_sched_qs() currently calls local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() up to three times. Remove irq masking from rcu_qsctr_help() / invoke_rcu_kthread() and do it once in rcu_sched_qs() / rcu_bh_qs() This generates smaller code as well. text data bss dec hex filename 2314 156 24 2494 9be kernel/rcutiny.old.o 2250 156 24 2430 97e kernel/rcutiny.new.o Fix an outdated comment for rcu_qsctr_help() Move invoke_rcu_kthread() definition before its use.
