From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions map to __srcu_read_lock() and __srcu_read_unlock() on systems like x86 that have NMI-safe this_cpu_inc() operations. This makes the underlying __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and __srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions difficult to test on (for example) x86 systems, allowing bugs to creep in. This commit therefore creates a FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig that forces those underlying functions to be used even on systems where they are not needed, thus providing better testing coverage.
