Subject: [PATCH 2/5] srcu: Initialize SRCU after timers

Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core is free to queue delayed
workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called
several steps after rcu_init(). Any call_srcu() in-between would finish
its course inside a dangerously uninitialized timer core.

Make sure we stay in early SRCU mode until everything is well settled.
