[PATCH RFC ftrace] Chose RCU Tasks based on TASKS_RCU rather than PREEMPTION

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Feb 28 2024 - 14:41:07 EST


The advent of CONFIG_PREEMPT_AUTO, AKA lazy preemption, will mean that
even kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
might see the occasional preemption, and that this preemption just might
happen within a trampoline.

Therefore, update ftrace_shutdown() to invoke synchronize_rcu_tasks()
based on CONFIG_TASKS_RCU instead of CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

Only build tested.
