rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot be disabled. This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
