Currently, SRCU-fast grace periods use synchronize_rcu() to provide the needed ordering with readers, even given an expedited SRCU-fast grace period, which isn't all that expedited. This commit therefore instead uses synchronize_rcu_expedited() if there is an expedited SRCU-fast grace period in flight. Of course, given an non-expedited SRCU-fast grace period blocked in synchronize_rcu(), a later request for an expedited SRCU-fast grace period will wait for that synchronize_rcu() to return before switching to use of synchronize_rcu_expedited(). If this turns out to be a real problem for a production workload, we can increase the complexity (but likely also degrade the energy efficiency) to speed things up further. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
