rcu: Permit RCU_FAST_NO_HZ to be used by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

Browse Source 
The new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is compatible with preemptible
RCU, so this commit removes the Kconfig restriction that previously
prohibited this.

This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods
in order to allow the final CPU to enter dynticks-idle state
more quickly. On the other hand, this option increases the
overhead of the dynticks-idle checking, particularly on systems
with large numbers of CPUs.

Say Y if energy efficiency is critically important, particularly
if you have relatively few CPUs.
