Cleanup the synchronize_srcu() from the ODP flow as it was found to be a very heavy time consumer as part of dereg_mr. For example de-registration of 10000 ODP MRs each with size of 2M hugepage took 19.6 sec comparing de-registration of same number of non ODP MRs that took 172 ms. The new locking scheme uses the wait_event() mechanism which follows the use count of the MR instead of using synchronize_srcu(). By that change, the time required for the above test took 95 ms which is even better than the non ODP flow. Once fully dropped the srcu usage, had to come with a lock to protect the XA access. As part of using the above mechanism we could also clean the num_deferred_work stuff and follow the use count instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
