Merge branches 'barrier.2012.05.09a', 'fixes.2012.04.26a', 'inline.2012.05.02b' and 'srcu.2012.05.07b' into HEAD

barrier:  Reduce the amount of disturbance by rcu_barrier() to the rest of
    	the system.  This branch also includes improvements to
    	RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which are included here due to conflicts.
fixes:  Miscellaneous fixes.
inline:  Remaining changes from an abortive attempt to inline
    	preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_lock().  These are (1) making
    	exit_rcu() avoid unnecessary work and (2) avoiding having
    	preemptible RCU record a blocked thread when the scheduler
    	declines to do a context switch.
srcu:	Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, including
    	call_srcu().

+ *
+ * Of course, sampling num_online_cpus() with preemption enabled can
+ * give erroneous results if there are concurrent CPU-hotplug operations.
+ * For example, given a demonic sequence of preemptions in num_online_cpus()
+ * and CPU-hotplug operations, there could be two or more CPUs online at
+ * all times, but num_online_cpus() might well return one (or even zero).
+ *
+ * However, all such demonic sequences require at least one CPU-offline
+ * operation.  Furthermore, rcu_blocking_is_gp() giving the wrong answer
+ * is only a problem if there is an RCU read-side critical section executing
+ * throughout.  But RCU-sched and RCU-bh read-side critical sections
+ * disable either preemption or bh, which prevents a CPU from going offline.
+ * Therefore, the only way that rcu_blocking_is_gp() can incorrectly return
+ * that there is only one CPU when in fact there was more than one throughout
+ * is when there were no RCU readers in the system.  If there are no
