[PATCH 7/9] jrcu: support lazy / not-lazy end-of-batch recognition

[Joe Korty]

jrcu: make lazy/not-lazy end-of-batch recognition a config option.

Some mb() are not needed for correct operation, they just make JRCU
recognize end-of-batch at the earliest possible moment.  Mark those
semi-optional mb's with an #ifdef.
