    Hello, Paul.

    Please see below a v2 of this patch. The main difference between v1
    is that, the monitor work now is open-coded, thus some extra inline
    functions were eliminated:

    Subject: [PATCH v2] kvfree_rcu: Refactor kfree_rcu_monitor()

    Currently we have three functions which depend on each other.
    Two of them are quite tiny and the last one where the most
    work is done. All of them are related to queuing RCU batches
    to reclaim objects after a GP.

    1. kfree_rcu_monitor(). It consist of few lines. It acquires
    the spin-lock and calls "drain" function.

    2. kfree_rcu_drain_unlock(). It also consists of few lines of
    code. It calls a func. to queue the batch. If not success
    rearm the monitor work to repeat an attempt one more time.

    3. queue_kfree_rcu_work(). Main core part is implemented here.
    In short, it attempts to start a new batch to free objects
    after a GP.

    Since there are no external users of [2] and [3] functions we
    can eliminate both by moving all logic directly into [1]. That
    makes the kfree_rcu_monitor() to be open-coded what is easier
    to follow thus becomes less complicated.

    Apart of that, replace comments which start with "/*" to "//"
    format to make it unified across the file.
