rcu: Remove Classic RCU

Remove Classic RCU, given that the combination of Tree RCU and
the proposed Bloatwatch RCU do everything that Classic RCU can
with fewer bugs.

Tree RCU has been default in x86 builds for almost six months,
and seems to be quite reliable, so there does not seem to be
much justification for keeping the Classic RCU code and config
complexity around anymore.

- * The grace period handling consists out of two steps:
- * - A new grace period is started.
- *   This is done by rcu_start_batch. The start is not broadcasted to
- *   all cpus, they must pick this up by comparing rcp->cur with
- *   rdp->quiescbatch. All cpus are recorded  in the
- *   rcu_ctrlblk.cpumask bitmap.
- * - All cpus must go through a quiescent state.
- *   Since the start of the grace period is not broadcasted, at least two
- *   calls to rcu_check_quiescent_state are required:
- *   The first call just notices that a new grace period is running. The
- *   following calls check if there was a quiescent state since the beginning
- *   of the grace period. If so, it updates rcu_ctrlblk.cpumask. If
- *   the bitmap is empty, then the grace period is completed.
- *   rcu_check_quiescent_state calls rcu_start_batch(0) to start the next grace
- *   period (if necessary).
