call_rcu() changes to save power will slow down percpu refcounter per-CPU to atomic switch path. The primitive uses RCU when switching to atomic mode. The enqueued async callback wakes up waiters waiting in the percpu_ref_switch_waitq. This will slow down the per-CPU refcount users such as blk_pre_runtime_suspend(). Use the call_rcu_flush() API instead which reverts to the old behavior.
