rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure

The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be
used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight
readers during times when there are no writers.  The first use is in
the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem.

This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to

        struct rcu_sync_struct {
                atomic_t counter;
        };

	/* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */
        static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0;
        }

	/* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */
        static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                atomic_inc(&rss->counter);
                synchronize_sched();
        }

	/* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */
        static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
        {
                synchronize_sched();
                atomic_dec(&rss->counter);
        }

The main difference is that it records the state and only calls
synchronize_sched() if required.  At least some of the calls to
synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and
rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.
