rcu: Move quiescent-state forcing into kthread
As the first step towards allowing quiescent-state forcing to be preemptible, this commit moves RCU quiescent-state forcing into the same kthread that is now used to initialize and clean up after grace periods. This is yet another step towards keeping scheduling latency down to a dull roar. Updated to change from raw_spin_lock_irqsave() to raw_spin_lock_irq() and to remove the now-unused rcu_state structure fields as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
