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.
