[PATCH 2/8] rcu: Provide a boot time parameter to control lazy RCU

[Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>]

From: Qais Yousef <qyousef@layalina.io>

To allow more flexible arrangements while still provide a single kernel
for distros, provide a boot time parameter to enable/disable lazy RCU.

Specify:

	rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=[y|1|n|0]

Which also requires

	rcu_nocbs=all

at boot time to enable/disable lazy RCU.

To disable it by default at build time when CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, the new
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF can be used.
