This patch adds srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), which dispense with the read-side smp_mb() but also are restricted to code regions that RCU is watching. If a given srcu_struct structure uses srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), it is not permitted to use any other SRCU read-side marker, before, during, or after. Another price of light-weight readers is heavier weight grace periods. Such readers mean that SRCU grace periods on srcu_struct structures used by light-weight readers will incur at least two calls to synchronize_rcu(). In addition, normal SRCU grace periods for light-weight-reader srcu_struct structures never auto-expedite. Note that expedited SRCU grace periods for light-weight-reader srcu_struct structures still invoke synchronize_rcu(), not synchronize_srcu_expedited(). Something about wishing to keep the IPIs down to a dull roar. The srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite() functions may not (repeat, *not*) be used from NMI handlers, but if this is needed, an additional flavor of SRCU reader can be added by some future commit.
