This commit makes CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernels enforce the new rule that srcu_struct structures that are passed to srcu_read_lock_fast() and other SRCU-fast read-side markers be either initialized with init_srcu_struct_fast() on the one hand or defined with DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() on the other. This eliminates the read-side test that was formerly included in srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, speeding these primitives up by about 25% (admittedly only about half of a nanosecond, but when tracing on fastpaths...)

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 reStructuredText 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.
