kvfree_rcu: Refactor kfree_rcu_monitor()

Browse source

Currently we have three functions which depend on each other.
Two of them are quite tiny and the last one where the most
work is done. All of them are related to queuing RCU batches
to reclaim objects after a GP.

1. kfree_rcu_monitor(). It consist of few lines. It acquires a spin-lock
   and calls kfree_rcu_drain_unlock().

2. kfree_rcu_drain_unlock(). It also consists of few lines of code. It
   calls queue_kfree_rcu_work() to queue the batch.  If this fails,
   it rearms the monitor work to try again later.

3. queue_kfree_rcu_work(). This provides the bulk of the functionality,
   attempting to start a new batch to free objects after a GP.

Since there are no external users of functions [2] and [3], both
can eliminated by moving all logic directly into [1], which both
shrinks and simplifies the code.

Also replace comments which start with "/*" to "//" format to make it
unified across the file.
