Series PREEMPT_AUTO: support lazy rescheduling |

Commit Message

Ankur Arora Feb. 13, 2024, 5:55 a.m. UTC 
  The combination of PREEMPT_RCU=n and (PREEMPT_AUTO=y, preempt=full)
works at cross purposes: the RCU read side critical sections disable
preemption, while preempt=full schedules eagerly to minimize
latency.

For now, warn if the user is switching to full preemption with
PREEMPT_RCU=n.
