rcu: Remove CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU

Now that CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU is in place, there is no
further need for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU.  Remove it, along with
whatever subtle bugs it may (or may not) contain.

config PREEMPT_RCU
bool "Preemptible RCU"
depends on PREEMPT
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
remaining on a given CPU through its execution.
