[PATCH 19/21] rcu/context-tracking: Remove unused and/or unecessary middle functions

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue May 03 2022 - 06:03:06 EST


Some eqs functions are now only used internally by context tracking, so
their public declarations can be removed.

Also middle functions such as rcu_user_*() and rcu_idle_*()
which now directly call to rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() can be
wiped out as well.
