rcu: Enable RCU tracepoints by default to aid in debugging
While debugging a performance issue I needed to understand why RCU sofitrqs were firing so frequently. Unfortunately, the RCU callback tracepoints are hidden behind CONFIG_RCU_TRACE which defaults to off in the upstream kernel and is likely to also be disabled in enterprise distribution configs. Enable it by default for CONFIG_TREE_RCU. However, we must keep it disabled for tiny RCU, because it would otherwise pull in a large amount of code that would make tiny RCU less than tiny. I ran some file system metadata intensive workloads (git checkout, FS-Mark) on a variety of machines with this patch and saw no detectable change in performance.
