Good stuff, Lai!!!

Please see below for one small but important comment.

It would be better to put this in include/linux/rcutiny.h under
#ifdef CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.  The reason is that this would
allow the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to be dropped, saving significant
memory, at least from a TINY_RCU viewpoint.  Could you please
resubmit with this change?

(The reason we don't do the same for synchronize_sched() is that
it needs cond_resched() in the CONFIG_TINY_RCU case.)
