The x86 architecture uses an add-to-memory instruction to implement
this_cpu_add(), which is NMI safe.  This means that the old and
more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without
the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe().  Therefore, add the new Kconfig
option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/x86/Kconfig, which will
cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current
srcu_read_lock() behavior.
