Today rcu_barrier() is calling stop_machine_run() to synchronize all physical cpus in order to ensure all pending rcu calls have finished when returning. As stop_machine_run() is using tasklets this requires scheduling of idle vcpus on all cpus imposing the need to call rcu_barrier() on idle cpus only in case of core scheduling being active, as otherwise a scheduling deadlock would occur. There is no need at all to do the syncing of the cpus in tasklets, as rcu activity is started in __do_softirq() called whenever softirq activity is allowed. So rcu_barrier() can easily be modified to use softirq for synchronization of the cpus no longer requiring any scheduling activity. As there already is a rcu softirq reuse that for the synchronization. Remove the barrier element from struct rcu_data as it isn't used. Finally switch rcu_barrier() to return void as it now can never fail.
