Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 rcu 8/8] arch/s390: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option

The s390 architecture uses either a cmpxchg loop (old systems)
or the laa add-to-memory instruction (new systems) to implement
this_cpu_add(), both of which are NMI safe.  This means that the old
and more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without
the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe().  Therefore, add the new Kconfig
option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/arm64/Kconfig, which will
cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current
srcu_read_lock() behavior.
