[PATCH v2 1/2] rcu/kvfree: Use polled API in a slow path

[Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)]

For a single argument use a polled API to see if a GP is
already passed. This allows to bypass an extra GP request
in a slow path.

Allocating a page or dynamic rcu_head might take some and
still fail, in that scenario a GP which is requested on entry
of kvfree_call_rcu() can be elapsed. Benefit from this.
