The epoch_drain_callbacks() function is used to drain all pending
callbacks which have been invoked by prior epoch_call() function calls
on the same epoch. This function is useful when there are shared
memory structure(s) referred to by the epoch callback(s) which are not
refcounted and are rarely freed. The typical place for calling this
function is right before freeing or invalidating the shared
resource(s) used by the epoch callback(s). This function can sleep and
is not optimized for performance.

There are risks associated with waiting on a preemptible epoch section.
Change the name to make them not be the default and document the issue
under CAVEATS.
