rcu: Make __kfree_rcu() less dependent on compiler choices
Currently, __kfree_rcu() is implemented as an inline function, and contains a BUILD_BUG_ON() that malfunctions if __kfree_rcu() is compiled as an out-of-line function. Unfortunately, there are compiler settings (e.g., -O0) that can result in __kfree_rcu() being compiled out of line, resulting in annoying build breakage. This commit therefore converts both __kfree_rcu() and __is_kfree_rcu_offset() from inline functions to macros to prevent such misbehavior on the part of the compiler.
