This commit prepares for the removal of SRCU-Lite by removing the SRCU-L rcutorture scenario that tests it. Both SRCU-lite and SRCU-fast provide faster readers by dropping the smp_mb() call from their lock and unlock primitives, but incur a pair of added RCU grace periods during the SRCU grace period. There is a trivial mapping from the SRCU-lite API to that of SRCU-fast, so there should be no transition issues. [ paulmck: Apply Christoph Hellwig feedback. ] Signed-off-by: "Paul E.

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.
