Do many people other than me build with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU? If so, then
that would be a good reason for a temporary CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST,
as in going away in a release or two once the warnings get fixed.

I will let you decide based on the above question. But if you have
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST, as noted below, it needs to depend on RCU_EXPERT.
