rcu: Remove _rcu_barrier() dependency on __stop_machine()
Currently, _rcu_barrier() relies on preempt_disable() to prevent
any CPU from going offline, which in turn depends on CPU hotplug's
use of __stop_machine().
This patch therefore makes _rcu_barrier() use get_online_cpus() to
block CPU-hotplug operations. This has the added benefit of removing
the need for _rcu_barrier() to adopt callbacks: Because CPU-hotplug
operations are excluded, there can be no callbacks to adopt. This
commit simplifies the code accordingly.
