Currently, if a Kconfig option depends on TASKS_RCU, it conditionally does "select TASKS_RCU if PREEMPTION". This works, but requires any change in this enablement logic to be replicated across all such "select" clauses. This commit therefore creates a new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option so that the default value of TASKS_RCU can depend on a combination of this new option and any needed enablement logic, so that this logic is in one place. While in the area, also anticipate a likely future change by adding PREEMPT_AUTO to that logic. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
