Dipankar Sarma c2d727aa2f Preempt-RCU: Use softirq instead of tasklets for
This patch makes RCU use softirq instead of tasklets.

It also adds a memory barrier after raising the softirq
inorder to ensure that the cpu sees the most recently updated
value of rcu->cur while processing callbacks.
The discussion of the related theoretical race pointed out
by James Huang can be found here --> http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/20/603
