[PATCH tip/core/rcu 14/24] rcu: Directly drive TASKS_RCU from Kconfig

[Paul E. McKenney]

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

Currently, Kconfig will ask the user whether TASKS_RCU 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 TASKS_RCU via "select" statements.  Which means that
as subsystems require TASKS_RCU, those subsystems will need to add
"select" statements of their own.
