Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 50/88] rcu: Move rcu_expedited and rcu_normal externs from rcupdate.h

The rcu_expedited and rcu_normal variables are used only by sysctl
and kernel/rcu/update.c, so it does not make sense to their extern
declarations in rcupdate.h.  This commit therefore moves these
extern declarations to update.c.
