rcu: provide RCU options on non-preempt architectures too
Impact: build fix Some old architectures still do not use kernel/Kconfig.preempt, so the moving of the RCU options there broke their build: In file included from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sem.h:81, from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sched.h:69, from /home/mingo/tip/arch/alpha/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9: /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/rcupdate.h:62:2: error: #error "Unknown RCU implementation specified to kernel configuration" Move these options back to init/Kconfig, which every architecture includes.

-config PREEMPT_RCU
- bool "Preemptible RCU"
- depends on PREEMPT
- help
- This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
- RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
- this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
- preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
- now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
- remaining on a given CPU through its execution.

- help
- This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
- of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
- large numbers of CPUs. This value must be at least the cube
- root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS up to 32,768 for 32-bit
- systems and up to 262,144 for 64-bit systems.
-
- Select a specific number if testing RCU itself.
- Take the default if unsure.
-
-config RCU_FANOUT_EXACT
- bool "Disable tree-based hierarchical RCU auto-balancing"
- depends on TREE_RCU
- default n
- help
- This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified,
- regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy. This is useful for
- testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
- strong NUMA behavior.
-
- Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.
-
- Say n if unsure.
