RCU, workqueue: Implement rcu_work
There are cases where RCU callback needs to be bounced to a sleepable context. This is currently done by the RCU callback queueing a work item, which can be cumbersome to write and confusing to read. This patch introduces rcu_work, a workqueue work variant which gets executed after a RCU grace period, and converts the open coded bouncing in fs/aio and kernel/cgroup. v3: Dropped queue_rcu_work_on(). Documented rcu grace period behavior after queue_rcu_work(). v2: Use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for completion of previously queued rcu callback as per Paul.
