Subject: [PATCH -tip/core/rcu 1/6] Split hierarchical RCU initialization into boot-time and CPU-online pieces

This patch divides the rcutree initialization into boot-time and
hotplug-time components, so that the tree data structures are guaranteed
to be fully linked at boot time regardless of what might happen in CPU
hotplug operations.  This makes RCU more resilient against CPU hotplug
misbehavior (and vice versa), but more importantly, does a better job
of compartmentalizing the code.
