ACPI / osl: speedup grace period in acpi_os_map_cleanup
ACPI maintains cache of ioremap regions to speed up operations and access to them from irq context where ioremap() calls aren't allowed. This code abuses synchronize_rcu() on unmap path for synchronization with fast-path in acpi_os_read/write_memory which uses this cache. Since v3.10 CPUs are allowed to enter idle state even if they have RCU callbacks queued, see commit c0f4dfd4f90f1667d234d21f15153ea09a2eaa66 ("rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks"). That change caused problems with nvidia proprietary driver which calls acpi_os_map/unmap_generic_address several times during initialization. Each unmap calls synchronize_rcu and adds significant delay. Totally initialization is slowed for a couple of seconds and that is enough to trigger timeout in hardware, gpu decides to "fell off the bus". Widely spread workaround is reducing "rcu_idle_gp_delay" from 4 to 1 jiffy. This patch replaces synchronize_rcu() with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which is much faster.
