Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/12] rcu: Export RCU_FAST_NO_HZ parameters to sysfs

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

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ operation is controlled by four compile-time C-preprocessor
macros, but some use cases benefit greatly from runtime adjustment,
particularly when tuning devices.  This commit therefore creates the
corresponding sysfs entries.
