Fix for deadlock situation in the LinuxKPI's RCU synchronize API.
Deadlock condition:
The return value of TDQ_LOCKPTR(td) is the same for two threads.
1) The first thread signals a wakeup while keeping the rcu_read_lock().
This invokes sched_add() which in turn will try to lock TDQ_LOCK().
2) The second thread is calling synchronize_rcu() calling mi_switch() over
and over again trying to yield(). This prevents the first thread from running
and releasing the RCU reader lock.
Solution:
Release the thread lock while yielding to allow other threads to acquire the
lock pointed to by TDQ_LOCKPTR(td).
