Mathieu Desnoyers c5f58bd58f membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED command
Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.

Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.

There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.
