[PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 13/22] rcu: Rework preemptible expedited bitmask handling

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently, the rcu_node tree ->expmask bitmasks are initially set to
reflect the online CPUs.  This is pointless, because only the CPUs
preempted within RCU read-side critical sections by the preceding
synchronize_sched_expedited() need to be tracked.  This commit therefore
instead sets up these bitmasks based on the state of the ->blkd_tasks
lists.
