[RFC PATCH] rcu: config: Remove prompt for RCU implementation

From: Pranith Kumar
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 17:30:02 EST


The RCU implementation which is chosen is dependent on PREEMPT and SMP config
options and is not really a user-selectable choice. The following change will
remove the menu entry and will be derived from the above two options.
