rcu: demote SRCU_SYNCHRONIZE_DELAY from kernel-parameter status
Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and replace it by a C-preprocessor macro. If someone finds problems with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive approach might be required. Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations, at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven, just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is. At that point, there will be no need for this adaptive approach. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

- This option controls how long SRCU delays before entering its
- loop waiting on SRCU readers. The purpose of this loop is
- to avoid the unconditional context-switch penalty that would
- otherwise be incurred if there was an active SRCU reader,
- in a manner similar to adaptive locking schemes. This should
- be set to be a bit longer than the common-case SRCU read-side
- critical-section overhead.
