From: Qais Yousef <qyousef at layalina.io>
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2045492
To allow more flexible arrangements while still provide a single kernel
for distros, provide a boot time parameter to enable/disable lazy RCU.
Specify:
rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=[y|1|n|0]
Which also requires
rcu_nocbs=all
at boot time to enable/disable lazy RCU.
To disable it by default at build time when CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, the new
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF can be used.
