Subject: [GIT PULL] RCU fix

Linus,

Please pull the latest core-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: cb0f3f320d64831afb39940863c5927d6af25514 Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent

An RCU Kconfig fix that eliminates an annoying interactive kconfig 
question for CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
