Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/9] rcu: Eliminate unused APIs intended for adaptive ticks

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq()
functions were intended for use by adaptive ticks, but changes
in implementation have rendered them unnecessary.  This commit
therefore removes them.
