OOPS, sorry Ingo!

I forgot that the change above depends on another cleanup I sent to Paul,

	[PATCH] rcu/sync: kill rcu_sync_type/gp_type
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190423120724.GA6132@redhat.com/

which does

	-       .rss = __RCU_SYNC_INITIALIZER(name.rss, RCU_SCHED_SYNC),        \
	+       .rss = __RCU_SYNC_INITIALIZER(name.rss),                        \

so lets forget it for now, or may be Paul can take this patch too.

Sorry,

Oleg.
