Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/5] kernel/rcu/tree.c:3435 fix a sparse warning

kernel/rcu/tree.c:3435:21: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers)
kernel/rcu/tree.c:3435:21:    expected int ( *threadfn )( ... )
kernel/rcu/tree.c:3435:21:    got int ( static [toplevel] [noreturn] *<noident> )( ... )

by removing __noreturn attribute and adding unreachable() as suggested on the
mailing list: http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2&msg=436683
