rcu: Merge RCU-bh into RCU-preempt
The Linux kernel has long RCU-bh read-side critical sections that
intolerably increase scheduling latency under mainline's RCU-bh rules,
which include RCU-bh read-side critical sections being non-preemptible.
This patch therefore arranges for RCU-bh to be implemented in terms of
RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y.
This has the downside of defeating the purpose of RCU-bh, namely,
handling the case where the system is subjected to a network-based
denial-of-service attack that keeps at least one CPU doing full-time
softirq processing. This issue will be fixed by a later commit.
The current commit will need some work to make it appropriate for
mainline use, for example, it needs to be extended to cover Tiny RCU.
