rcu: Change return type of rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread()
The return value of rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread() is not used any longer. This commit therefore changes its return type from int to void, and removes the cast to void from its callers. Signed-off-by: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
