    rcu: Fix batch-limit size problem · 878d7439

    Commit 29c00b4a (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback
    invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch()
    
    Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue,
    instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes
    the effective limit being 1.  So, unless there is frequent idle periods
    (during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a
    state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate,
    eventually resulting in OOM.
    
    This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from
    int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters
    controlling the batch limits.
