call_rcu: add back delay in list non-empty case

commit bc94ca9bada25f7403e3e859caa241146ae8e338 changed the !RT behavior
slightly: when the list is not empty, it does not wait for a delay
anymore. Add this delay back, to ensure we don't flood the system with
frequent synchronize_rcu() calls, which would slow down readers.

call_rcu: handle retry without wait correctly

The wait scheme has an implementation problem: if the list is not empty
when the !RT scheme checks for it, it will restart the loop and
decrement the futex (again) without calling call_rcu_wait() (which would
wait until it is set back to 0). So in this case, we can end up
decrementing "futex" to values well below -1.

Fix this by moving the decrement before the loop, and duplicate it after
return from call_rcu_wait() + poll() delay. Also move the "set futex to
0 upon stopping" outside of the loop: this is the only way the loop can
be stopped anyway.

call_rcu: use futex for wakeup scheme

If I remove the URCU_CALL_RCU_RT flag from the rbtree single writer
test, thus using the pthread_cond_signal mechanism, there is a huge
slowdown: without cpu affinity for the worker threads, it crawls to 129
updates/s (looks like mutex contention between the thread calling
call_rcu and the call_rcu thread). Adding CPU affinity to the per-cpu
call_rcu threads, I get 546 updates/s, which is slightly better (better
cache locality, and maybe the mutex contention is not as bad thanks to
the two threads sharing the same CPU).

So I decided to try replacing pthread_cond_wait/signal with my
futex-based implementation I use for the rest of the urcu lib: it has
the advantage of removing the mutex from the call_rcu() execution
entirely, sampling the "futex" variable without any mutex whatsoever for
the case where no wakeup is needed.

Disabling URCU_CALL_RCU_RT flag, with per-cpu affined call_rcu threads,
with my futex-based wakeup implementation, I get 55754 updates/s (even
better than with URCU_CALL_RCU_RT flag!).

call_rcu: use cpu affinity for per-cpu call_rcu threads

If I use per-cpu call_rcu threads with URCU_CALL_RCU_RT flag, with one
updater thread only for my rbtree (no reader), I get 38365 updates/s.
If I add cpu affinity to these per-cpu call_rcu threads (I have prepared
a patch that does this), it jumps to 54219 updates/s.  So it looks like
keeping per-cpu affinity for the call_rcu thread is a good thing.

_cds_lfq_enqueue_rcu(). Cast it to (void) to remove the compiler
warning.

Add call_rcu() interface

Adds call_rcu(), with RCU threads to invoke the callbacks.  By default,
there will be one such RCU thread per process, created the first time
that call_rcu() is invoked.  On systems supporting sched_getcpu(), it
is possible to create one RCU thread per CPU by calling
create_all_cpu_call_rcu_data().

This version includes feedback from Mathieu Desnoyers.

urcu-bp: Update fork() handling

Introduce

extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);

to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold the registry mutex
across forks.

Add a test for the dmb instruction on ARM

The dmb instruction is used to implement a memory barrier on modern
ARM hardware.  The older generations of processors which are included
in single processor systems can get by on the generic implementation
of the cmm_mb().  This will allow the user space rcu to work on many
other ARM systems.
