[PATCH v2 4/9] rcu: Simplify rcu_init_geometry() capacity arithmetics

From: Alexander Gordeev
Date: Fri May 29 2015 - 05:56:10 EST


Current code suggests that introducing the extra level to
rcu_capacity[] array makes some of the arithmetic easier.
Well, in fact it appears rather confusing and unnecessary.
