rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot
Systems built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y but booted without either the rcu_nocbs= or rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters will not have callback offloading on any of the CPUs, nor can any of the CPUs be switched to enable callback offloading at runtime. Although this is intentional, it would be nice to have a way to offload all the CPUs without having to make random bootloaders specify either the rcu_nocbs= or the rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that switches the default so as to offload callback processing on all of the CPUs. This default can still be overridden using the rcu_nocbs= and rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.
