Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build failures. This causes trouble for deep embedded systems. But given that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel, it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed when it is no longer used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
