[PATCH] Make RCU API inaccessible to non-GPL Linux kernel modules

Remove synchronize_kernel() (deprecated 2-APR-2005 in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/11) and makes the RCU API inaccessible to
non-GPL Linux kernel modules (as was announced more than one year ago in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/8).  Tested on x86 and ppc64.
