Subject: [PATCH 5.10 098/152] rcu-tasks: Move RCU-tasks initialization to before early_initcall()

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 1b04fa9900263b4e217ca2509fd778b32c2b4eb2 ]

PowerPC testing encountered boot failures due to RCU Tasks not being
fully initialized until core_initcall() time.  This commit therefore
initializes RCU Tasks (along with Rude RCU and RCU Tasks Trace) just
before early_initcall() time, thus allowing waiting on RCU Tasks grace
periods from early_initcall() handlers.

Fixes: 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")
