rcu: Explicitly initialize RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables
The current initialization of the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables makes
needless and fragile assumptions about the initial value of things like
the jiffies counter. This commit therefore explicitly initializes all of
them that are better started with a non-zero value. It also adds some
comments describing the per-CPU state variables.
