rcu: Remove conditional compilation for RCU CPU stall warnings 

The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the
rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter
from sysfs.  There is therefore no longer any reason to have
kernel config parameters for this feature.  This commit therefore
removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE
kernel config parameters.  The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains
to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter
remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.

Using RCU's CPU Stall Detector
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR kernel config parameter enables
RCU's CPU stall detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay
RCU grace periods. The stall detector's idea of what constitutes
"unduly delayed" is controlled by a set of C preprocessor macros:
The rcu_cpu_stall_suppress module parameter enables RCU's CPU stall
detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay RCU grace periods.
This module parameter enables CPU stall detection by default, but
may be overridden via boot-time parameter or at runtime via sysfs.
The stall detector's idea of what constitutes "unduly delayed" is
controlled by a set of kernel configuration variables and cpp macros:
RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_CHECK
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait from
the beginning of a grace period until it issues an RCU CPU
stall warning. This time period is normally ten seconds.
This kernel configuration parameter defines the period of time
that RCU will wait from the beginning of a grace period until it
issues an RCU CPU stall warning. This time period is normally
ten seconds.
RCU_SECONDS_TILL_STALL_RECHECK
This macro defines the period of time that RCU will wait after
issuing a stall warning until it issues another stall warning
for the same stall. This time period is normally set to thirty
seconds.
for the same stall. This time period is normally set to three
times the check interval plus thirty seconds.
