[PATCH v1 2/6] rcu: introduce kvfree_rcu() interface

["Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@gmail.com>]

kvfree_rcu() can deal with an allocated memory that is obtained
via kvmalloc(). It can return two types of allocated memory or
"pointers", one can belong to regular SLAB allocator and another
one can be vmalloc one. It depends on requested size and memory
pressure.

Based on that, two streams are split, thus if a pointer belongs
to vmalloc allocator it is queued to the list, otherwise SLAB
one is queued into "bulk array" for further processing.

The main reason of such splitting is:
    a) to distinguish kmalloc()/vmalloc() ptrs;
    b) there is no vmalloc_bulk() interface.

As of now we have list_lru.c user that needs such interface,
also there will be new comers. Apart of that it is preparation
to have a head-less variant later.
