rcu/tree: Remove CONFIG_PREMPT_RCU check in force_qs_rnp()

Browse source 
Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9 ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug").  However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe.  In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.

This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().
