markers: re-enable fast batch registration

Lai Jiangshan discovered a reentrancy issue with markers and fixed it by
adding synchronize_sched() calls at each registration/unregistraiton.

It works, but it removes the ability to do batch
registration/unregistration and can cause registration of ~100 markers
to take about 30 seconds on a loaded machine (synchronize_sched() is
much slower on such workloads).

This patch implements a version of the fix which won't slow down marker batch
registration/unregistration. It also go back to the original non-synchronized
reg/unreg.
