rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

This option offloads callback invocation from the set of

For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuoN") will be created to
invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded.
Nothing prevents this kthread from running on the specified

callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used to force
the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

Say N here if you are unsure.
