Subject: [PATCH] rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()

pr_info() is called with rtp->cbs_gbl_lock spin lock locked.  Because
pr_info() calls printk() that might sleep, this will result in BUG
like below:

[    0.207018] cblist_init_generic: Setting shift to 1 and lim to 1.

This patch moves pr_info() so that it is called without
rtp->cbs_gbl_lock locked.
