rcu: Move RCU non-debug Kconfig options to kernel/rcu
RCU's Kconfig options are scattered, and there are enough of them that it would be good for them to be more centralized. This commit therefore extracts RCU's Kconfig options from init/Kconfig into a new kernel/rcu/Kconfig file. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
