Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcu: Fix full dynticks' dependency on wide RCU nocb mode

Commit 0637e029392386e6996f5d6574aadccee8315efa
("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended
to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is
enabled.

However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's
"select" instruction has no effect on such targets.

Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we
don't want instead.
