The following patch of the series enables delaying of kernel memory
synchronization for CPUs running in extended quiescent state (EQS)
till the exit of that state.
In previous patch ISB was added in EQS exit path to ensure that
any change made by kernel patching framework is visible. But after
that isb(), EQS is still enabled for a while, and there's a chance
that some other core will modify text in parallel, and EQS core
will be not notified about it, as EQS will mask IPI:
CPU0 CPU1
ISB
patch_some_text()
kick_all_active_cpus_sync()
exit EQS
// not synchronized!
use_of_patched_text()
This patch introduces rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit_sync() function and uses
it in arm64 code to call ipi() after the exit from quiescent state.
