Right you are!  It got moved under that #ifdef in the process of merging
the RCU, hotplug, and swait changes, and I failed to notice.  Good catch!

I will apply this to my tree once -rc1 comes out, as it will apply to
-rcu at that point.

Or maybe we should remove the #ifdef and add IS_ENABLED() to the other
functions under that #ifdef.  Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
