synchronize_rcu blocks the caller of opp_enable/disbale
for a complete grace period. This blocking duration prevents
any intensive use of the functions. Replace synchronize_rcu
by call_rcu which will call our function for freeing the old
opp element.

The duration of opp_enable and opp_disable will be no more
 dependant of the grace period.
