rcu: demote SRCU_SYNCHRONIZE_DELAY from kernel-parameter status

Browse source 
Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro.  If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.

Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is.  At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.

help
This option controls how long SRCU delays before entering its
loop waiting on SRCU readers. The purpose of this loop is
to avoid the unconditional context-switch penalty that would
otherwise be incurred if there was an active SRCU reader,
in a manner similar to adaptive locking schemes. This should
be set to be a bit longer than the common-case SRCU read-side
critical-section overhead.
Accept the default if unsure.
