rcu: Restrict default jiffies_till_first_fqs for strict RCU GPs
If there are idle CPUs, RCU's grace-period kthread will wait several jiffies before even thinking about polling them. This promotes efficiency, which is normally a good thing, but when the kernel has been built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, we care more about short grace periods. This commit therefore restricts the default jiffies_till_first_fqs value to zero in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, which causes RCU's grace-period kthread to poll for idle CPUs immediately after starting a grace period.
