Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/10] rcu: Remove unused code originally used for context tracking

From: Li Zhong <zhong@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

As context tracking subsystem evolved, it stopped using ignore_user_qs
and in_user defined in the rcu_dynticks structure.  This commit therefore
removes them.
