Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 1/2] rcu: suppress RCU lockdep warnings during early boot

RCU is used during very early boot, before RCU and lockdep have been
initialized.  So make the underlying primitives (rcu_read_lock_held(),
rcu_read_lock_bh_held(), rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), and
rcu_dereference_check()) check for early boot via the rcu_scheduler_active
flag.  This will suppress false positives.
