Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/2] sched/core: Convert synchronize_rcu_mult to synchronize_rcu

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@...lfernandes.org>

synchronize_rcu_mult is now obsolete since all the different RCU flavors
have been consolidated and the API is now common on the updater side.
sched/core.c is the only user of it. All call_rcu_<flavor> calls boil
down to the same call_rcu. So there's no point in calling
synchronize_rcu_mult infact it could potentially be slower due to
waiting for the call_rcu callback twice. Just call synchronize_rcu here
which should do the job.
