Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Direct boosting gp_tasks for strict grace periods

If the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD option is enabled, the normal grace
period will be treated as expedited grace period, the gp_tasks that block
current grace period needs to be boosted unconditionally, therefore this
commit adds Kconfig check in rcu_initiate_boost().
