rcu: Allow expedited grace periods to be disabled at init
Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in aggressive real-time systems. This commit therefore introduces a kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables expedited grace periods just before init is spawned. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
