[RFC PATCH 0/4] sched+mm: Track lazy active mm existence with hazard pointers

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

Hazard pointers appear to be a good fit for replacing refcount based lazy
active mm tracking.

Highlight:

will-it-scale context_switch1_threads

nr threads (-t)     speedup
    24                +3%
    48               +12%
    96               +21%
   192               +28%

I'm curious to see what the build bots have to say about this.

This series applies on top of v6.11.1.
