Andi Kleen d72b37513c Remove stop_machine during module load v2 
Remove stop_machine during module load v2

module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert
the module into the global module lists.  Especially on larger systems this
can be quite expensive.

It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers
like kallsyms.

I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something
into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the
module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert
a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent
readers don't go off into the wood.

So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just
do a list_add_rcu() instead.

Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs
that for other reasons.

v2: Revised readers based on Paul's comments. All readers that only
    rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu().
    Done that. The others are ok because they have the modules mutex.
    Also added a possible missing preempt disable for print_modules().

[cc Paul McKenney for review. It's not RCU, but quite similar.]
