rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to rcutree.c
Now that TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU no longer do anything different for the single-CPU case, there is no need for multiple definitions of synchronize_sched_expedited(). It is no longer in any sense a plug-in, so move it from kernel/rcutree_plugin.h to kernel/rcutree.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
