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