rcu: Make synchronize_srcu_expedited() fast if running readers

Browse Source 
The synchronize_srcu_expedited() function is currently quick if there
are no active readers, but will delay a full jiffy if there are any.
If these readers leave their SRCU read-side critical sections quickly,
this is way too long to wait.  So this commit first waits ten microseconds,
and only then falls back to jiffy-at-a-time waiting.

help
This option controls how long SRCU delays before entering its
loop waiting on SRCU readers. The purpose of this loop is
to avoid the unconditional context-switch penalty that would
otherwise be incurred if there was an active SRCU reader,
in a manner similar to adaptive locking schemes. This should
be set to be a bit longer than the common-case SRCU read-side
critical-section overhead.
Accept the default if unsure.
