And it appears that there is much code that includes srcu.h without
having "select SRCU", which underlines the point that SRCU is no longer
optional.  Patch below, pushing to -rcu as well.

    srcu: Make SRCU be built by default
    
    SRCU is optional, and included only if there is a "select SRCU" in effect.
    However, we now have Tiny SRCU, so this commit defaults CONFIG_SRCU=y.
