Hi all,

After merging the rcu tree, today's linux-next build (powercp
allyesconfig) failed like this:

ld: kernel/rcu/refperf.o:(.discard+0x0): multiple definition of `__pcpu_unique_srcu_ctl_perf_srcu_data'; kernel/rcu/rcuperf.o:(.discard+0x0): first defined here

Caused by commit

786a25497743 ("refperf: Add a test to measure performance of read-side synchronization")

From srcutree.h:

* Note that although DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() hides the name from other
* files, the per-CPU variable rules nevertheless require that the
* chosen name be globally unique.

I have applied the following patch for today.
