Julia crafted that "rcu_normal_after_boot = 1" for RT after we had more
and more synchronize_rcu_expedited() users popping up. I would like to
keep that part (default value) since it good to have for most users.

I don't mind removing CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT part here if there are legitimate
use cases for using "rcu_normal_after_boot = 0".
Paul suggested initially to restrict that option for PREEMPT_RT and I
would follow here Paul's guidance to either remove it or restrict it to
NO_HZ_FULL in RT's case (as suggested).
