Some very low hanging fruit, but contention on the pool->lock is
noticeable between intel_gt_get_buffer_pool() and pool_retire(), with
the majority of the hold time due to the locked list iteration. If we
make the node itself RCU protected, we can perform the search for an
suitable node just under RCU, reserving taking the lock itself for
claiming the node and manipulating the list.
