Subject: rcu: enable rcu_normal_after_boot by default for RT
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git
Git-commit: 0f1010bffe754cfaed5b7009377876674c4e6684
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

The forcing of an expedited grace period is an expensive and very
RT-application unfriendly operation, as it forcibly preempts all running
tasks on CPUs which are preventing the gp from expiring.

By default, as a policy decision, disable the expediting of grace
periods (after boot) on configurations which enable PREEMPT_RT_FULL.
