From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

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.
