rcu: Allow RCU grace-period initialization to be preempted
RCU grace-period initialization is currently carried out with interrupts disabled, which can result in 200-microsecond latency spikes on systems on which RCU has been configured for 4096 CPUs. This patch therefore makes the RCU grace-period initialization be preemptible, which should eliminate those latency spikes. Similar spikes from grace-period cleanup and the forcing of quiescent states will be dealt with similarly by later patches.
