[PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/24] rcu: Directly drive RCU_USER_QS from Kconfig

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue May 12 2015 - 18:35:48 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, Kconfig will ask the user whether RCU_USER_QS should be set.
This is silly because Kconfig already has all the information that it
needs to set this parameter. This commit therefore directly drives
the value of RCU_USER_QS via NO_HZ_FULL's "select" statement.
