tinyrcu.h is probably not a bad idea.  Some of the functions are trivial, and
the code to do a function call is bigger than the body of the function itself.

rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter/exit(), rcu_batches_completed[_bh](), for
example.  Even call_rcu() and call_rcu_bh() might perhaps benefit from
inlining.
