Subject: [PATCH] rcu/tree: Remove CONFIG_PREMPT_RCU check in force_qs_rnp

Remove CONFIG_PREMPT_RCU check in force_qs_rnp(). Originally,
this check was required to skip executing fqs failsafe
for rcu-sched, which was added in commit a77da14ce9af ("rcu:
Yet another fix for preemption and CPU hotplug"). However,
this failsafe has been removed, since then. So, cleanup the
code to avoid any confusion around the need for boosting,
for !CONFIG_PREMPT_RCU.
