Good catch, thank you!

Does the patch shown below fix this?

							Thanx, Paul

commit a9b8406e51603238941dbc6fa1437f8915254ebb

    rcu-tasks: Fix warning for unused tasks_rcu_exit_srcu
    
    The tasks_rcu_exit_srcu variable is used only by kernels built
    with CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y, but is defined for all kernesl with
    CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_GENERIC=y.  Therefore, in kernels built with
    CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_GENERIC=y but CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=n, this gives
    a "defined but not used" warning.
    
    This commit therefore moves this variable under CONFIG_TASKS_RCU
