[PATCH v2 14/35] rcu: limit PREEMPT_RCU to full preemption under PREEMPT_AUTO

[Ankur Arora]

Under PREEMPT_AUTO, CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, and much like
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, PREEMPT_AUTO also allows for dynamic switching
of preemption models.

The RCU model, however, is fixed at compile time.

Now, RCU typically selects PREEMPT_RCU if CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.
Given the trade-offs between PREEMPT_RCU=y and PREEMPT_RCU=n, some
configurations might prefer the stronger forward-progress guarantees
of PREEMPT_RCU=n.

Accordingly, select PREEMPT_RCU=y only if the user selects
CONFIG_PREEMPT at compile time.
