after resizing with call_rcu(), but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing (especially before resizing the root node). The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's removed until we're sure it could be really useful.) The patch is based on suggestions by: Paul E.
