rcu: Provide exact CPU-online tracking for RCU

Browse Source 
Up to now, RCU has assumed that the CPU-online process makes it from
CPU_UP_PREPARE to set_cpu_online() within one jiffy.  Given the recent
rise of virtualized environments, this assumption is very clearly
obsolete.  Failing to meet this deadline can result in RCU paying
attention to an incoming CPU for one jiffy, then ignoring it until the
grace period following the one in which that CPU sets itself online.
This situation might prove to be fatally disappointing to any RCU
read-side critical sections that had the misfortune to execute during
the time in which RCU was ignoring the slow-to-come-online CPU.

This commit therefore updates RCU's internal CPU state-tracking
information at notify_cpu_starting() time, thus providing RCU with
an exact transition of the CPU's state from offline to online.

Note that this means that incoming CPUs must not use RCU read-side
critical section (other than those of SRCU) until notify_cpu_starting()
time.  Note also that the CPU_STARTING notifiers -are- allowed to use
RCU read-side critical sections.  (Of course, CPU-hotplug notifiers are
rapidly becoming obsolete, so you need to act fast!)

If a given architecture or CPU family needs to use RCU read-side
critical sections earlier, the call to rcu_cpu_starting() from
notify_cpu_starting() will need to be architecture-specific, with
architectures that need early use being required to hand-place
the call to rcu_cpu_starting() at some point preceding the call to
notify_cpu_starting().
