Subject: [PATCH 3/4] rcu/tree: use __rcu_alloc_page_lockless() func.
Date:   Fri, 18 Sep 2020 21:48:16 +0200

Use a newly introduced __rcu_alloc_page_lockless() function
directly in the k[v]free_rcu() path, a new pointer array can
be obtained by demand, what reduces a memory footprint, does
it without any delays and in time.

Please note, we still keep the worker approach introduced earlier,
because the lock-less page allocation uses a per-cpu-list cache
that can be depleted, what is absolutely a normal behaviour.

If so, the worker we have, by requesting a new page will also
initiate an internal process that prefetches specified number
of elements from the buddy allocator populating the "pcplist"
by new fresh pages.

A number of pre-fetched elements can be controlled via sysfs
attribute. Please see the /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction.
