Subject: [PATCH rcu 1/2] rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()

From: Shigeru Yoshida <syoshida@...hat.com>

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:

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