Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/9] rcu: Permit RCU_FAST_NO_HZ to be used by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

The new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is compatible with preemptible
RCU, so this commit removes the Kconfig restriction that previously
prohibited this.
