Subject: [PATCH 16/48] ftrace: Choose RCU Tasks based on TASKS_RCU rather than PREEMPTION

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

The advent of CONFIG_PREEMPT_AUTO, AKA lazy preemption, will mean that
even kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
might see the occasional preemption, and that this preemption just might
happen within a trampoline.

Therefore, update ftrace_shutdown() to invoke synchronize_rcu_tasks()
based on CONFIG_TASKS_RCU instead of CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

[ paulmck: Apply Steven Rostedt feedback. ]
