rcu: Place root rcu_node structure in separate lockdep class

Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep
class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks()
acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf
rcu_nodes' locks.

This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate
spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is
used for that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which
puts the root rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.
