Currently cpumask_available() is used to prevent from unwanted
NOCB initialization. However if neither "rcu_nocbs=" nor "nohz_full="
parameters are passed but CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, the initialization
path is still taken, running through all sorts of needless operations
and iterations on an empty cpumask.

Fix this with relying on a real initialization state instead. This
also optimize kthreads creation, sparing iteration over all online CPUs
when nocb isn't initialized.
