DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD depends on PREEMPT, so #ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT
is totally useless in kernel/rcupdate.c.

By "useless" I meant the code under #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD,
of course. :)

Queued, thank you, Amerigo!

I added a patch on top of this commenting why DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD
is disallowed if !PREEMPT, FYI.
