rcu: Permit RCU_FAST_NO_HZ to be used by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
The new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is compatible with preemptible RCU, so this commit removes the Kconfig restriction that previously prohibited this. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods
- in order to allow the final CPU to enter dynticks-idle state
- more quickly. On the other hand, this option increases the
- overhead of the dynticks-idle checking, particularly on systems

Say Y if energy efficiency is critically important, particularly
if you have relatively few CPUs.
