rcu: Stopgap fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU. Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably more complex and intrusive. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
