Subject: [PATCH] rcu: fix build error for sysrq workaround

I got a build error in linux-next today, coming from:
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/sysrqrcu-suppress-rcu-stall-warnings-while-sysrq-runs.patch

I saw the problem has already been reported by other people, but couldn't find
a fix. This is what I used locally to avoid the build error. Not sure if it's
correct to do nothing though.

Please just ignore if the problem has already been solved independently.

Subject: [PATCH] rcu: fix build error for sysrq workaround

Patch "sysrq,rcu: suppress RCU stall warnings while sysrq runs"
introduced two new functions, but they are unavailable if
CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON is not set, so we have to provide
an alternative implementation, doing nothing.
