Marcelo Tosatti 6dac8e101d mm: lru_cache_disable: use synchronize_rcu_expedited 
commit 3173346337 upstream.

commit ff042f4a9b ("mm: lru_cache_disable: replace work queue
synchronization with synchronize_rcu") replaced lru_cache_disable's usage
of work queues with synchronize_rcu.

Some users reported large performance regressions due to this commit, for
example:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220521234616.GO1790663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/T/

Switching to synchronize_rcu_expedited fixes the problem.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
