So the worst case would be if several processes with lots of VMAs were
to exit at about the same time? If so, my guess is that call_srcu()
needs to handle several thousand callbacks showing up within a few
tens of microseconds. Is that a reasonable assumption, or am I missing
an order of magnitude or two in either direction?
