The kbuild test project found an oversized stack frame in rcu_gp_kthread()
for some kernel configurations. This oversizing was due to a very large
amount of inlining, which is unnecessary due to the fact that this code
executes infrequently. This commit therefore marks rcu_gp_init() and
rcu_gp_fqs_loop noinline_for_stack to conserve stack space.
