Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx before reporting the expedited quiescent state. Under heavy real-time load, this can result in this function being preempted before the quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace period from completing. Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond. This was fine given that there were no particular response-time constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed for throughput rather than latency. However, some users now need sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints. This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.
