From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The priority level of the rcuo kthreads is the system administrator's responsibility, but kernels that priority-boost RCU readers probably need the rcuo kthreads running at the rcutree.kthread_prio level. This commit therefore sets these kthreads to that priority level at creation time, providing a sensible default. The system administrator is free to adjust as needed at any time.
