rcu: Create call_rcu_tasks() kthread at boot time
Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first
invocation of call_rcu_tasks(). This has the advantage of avoiding
creation if there are never any invocations of call_rcu_tasks() and of
synchronize_rcu_tasks(), but it requires an unreliable heuristic to
determine when it is safe to create the kthread. For example, it is
not safe to create the kthread when call_rcu_tasks() is invoked with
a spinlock held, but there is no good way to detect this in !PREEMPT
kernels.
This commit therefore creates this kthread unconditionally at
core_initcall() time. If you don't want this kthread created, then
build with CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=n.
