I take it back...  I applied the following patch on top of my earlier
one, and a defconfig x86 build completed without error.  (Though I have
not tested the results of the build.)

One possible difference -- I did this work on top of a recent Linus
git commit (b2a8b4b81966) rather than on top of my -rcu tree.  Also,
I have not yet tried an allyesconfig build, which will no doubt locate
some more problems.

rcu: inline preemptible rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()

Move the definitions of __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock()
from kernel/rcutree_plugin.h to include/linux/rcutree.h and from
kernel/rcutiny_plugin.h to include/linux/rcutiny.h, allowing these
functions to be inlined.
