[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/6] kvfree_rcu: Make krc_this_cpu_unlock() use raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

The krc_this_cpu_unlock() function does a raw_spin_unlock() immediately
followed by a local_irq_restore(). This commit saves a line of code by
merging them into a raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(). This transformation
also reduces scheduling latency because raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()
responds immediately to a reschedule request. In contrast,
local_irq_restore() does a scheduling-oblivious enabling of interrupts.
