Subject: [PATCH] rcu: mark debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() as pure

This allows to get rid of unneeded invocations.

Function debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() becomes really hot if several
debug options are enabled together with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.

Hottest path ends with:
  debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled
  is_ftrace_trampoline
  __kernel_text_address

Here debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() is called from condition
(debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() && !__warned && (c)) inside macro
do_for_each_ftrace_op(), where "c" is false.

With this patch "netperf -H localhost" shows boost from 2400 to 2500.
