rcu: Avoid unneeded function call in rcu_read_unlock()
Since commit aa40c138cc8f3 ("rcu: Report QS for outermost PREEMPT=n rcu_read_unlock() for strict GPs") the function rcu_read_unlock_strict() is invoked by the inlined rcu_read_unlock() function. However, rcu_read_unlock_strict() is an empty function in production kernels, which are built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=n. There is a mention of rcu_read_unlock_strict() in the BPF verifier, but this is in a deny-list, meaning that BPF does not care whether rcu_read_unlock_strict() is ever called. This commit therefore provides a slight performance improvement by hoisting the check of CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD from rcu_read_unlock_strict() into rcu_read_unlock(), thus avoiding the pointless call to an empty function.
