backing-dev: use synchronize_rcu_expedited instead of synchronize_rcu
backing-dev: use synchronize_rcu_expedited instead of synchronize_rcu synchronize_rcu sleeps several timer ticks. synchronize_rcu_expedited is much faster. With 100Hz timer frequency, when we remove 10000 block devices with "dmsetup remove_all" command, it takes 27 minutes. With this patch, removing 10000 block devices takes only 15 seconds.
