rcu: Remove CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY
The CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY Kconfig parameter doesn't appear to be very effective at finding race conditions, so this commit removes it. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> [ paulmck: Remove definition and uses as noted by Paul Bolle. ]

1139 There is a class of races that involve an unlikely preemption
1140 of __rcu_read_unlock() just after ->rcu_read_lock_nesting has
1141 been set to INT_MIN. This feature inserts a delay at that
1142 point to increase the probability of these races.
