Subject: mips/smp: Call rcutree_report_cpu_starting() earlier

From: Stefan Wiehler <stefan.wiehler@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 55702ec9603ebeffb15e6f7b113623fe1d8872f4 upstream.

rcutree_report_cpu_starting() must be called before
clockevents_register_device() to avoid the following lockdep splat triggered by
calling list_add() when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y:

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  ...
  -----------------------------
  kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3680 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
  no locks held by swapper/1/0.
  ...
  Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff8012a434>] show_stack+0x64/0x158
  [<ffffffff80a93d98>] dump_stack_lvl+0x90/0xc4

  [<ffffffff801339d0>] start_secondary+0x50/0x3b8

raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into lockdep
before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
