rcu: Forbid DEFINE{,_STATIC}_SRCU() from modules
Adding DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to a loadable module
requires that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is
not something we want to be doing all that often. Instead, loadable
modules should define an srcu_struct and invoke init_srcu_struct()
from their module_init function and cleanup_srcu_struct() from their
module_exit function. Note that modules using call_srcu() will also
need to invoke srcu_barrier() from their module_exit function.
This commit enforces this advice by refusing to define DEFINE_SRCU()
and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within loadable modules.
