Subject[PATCH, -tip] Make hierarchical RCU be the default
This patch makes the new TREE_RCU be the default, pointing the old
CLASSIC_RCU Kconfig symbol at it and introducing a new FLAT_RCU symbol
to allow the old version to be selected.

This patch is -not- yet suitable for inclusion, only for testing in
-tip, -next, and the like.
