X-Git-Tag: v0.8.0~119

Fix call_rcu fork handling

Fix call_rcu fork handling by putting all call_rcu threads in a
quiescent state before fork (paused state), and unpausing them when the
parent returns from fork.

On the child, everything will run fine as long as we don't issue fork()
from a call_rcu callback.

Side-note: pthread_atfork is not appropriate when using with multithread
and malloc/free. The glibc malloc implementation sadly expects that all
malloc/free are executed from the context of a single thread while
pthread atfork handlers are running, which leads to interesting hang in
glibc.
