We used to use RCU to synchronize MMU notifier with worker. This leads
calling synchronize_rcu() in invalidate_range_start(). But on a busy
system, there would be many factors that may slow down the
synchronize_rcu() which makes it unsuitable to be called in MMU
notifier. This path switch to use a simple spinlock to do the
synchronization.
Benchmark was done through testpmd + vhost_net + XDP_DROP on
tap. Compare to copy_{to|from}_user() path, on Sandy Bridge (without
SMAP support), 1.5% PPS improvement was measured; on Broadwell (with
SMAP and enabled), 14% PPS improvement was measured.
This means we are not as fast as what 7f466032dc9e did because the
spinlock overhead in the datapath. This needs to be addressed in the
future.
