[PATCH v4] rcu-tasks: Make rude RCU-Tasks work well with CPU hotplug

[Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>]

Currently, invoke rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() to wait one rude
RCU-tasks grace period, if __num_online_cpus == 1, will return
directly, indicates the end of the rude RCU-task grace period.
suppose the system has two cpus, consider the following scenario:

        CPU0                                   CPU1 (going offline)
                                          migration/1 task:
                                      cpu_stopper_thread
                                       -> take_cpu_down
                                          -> _cpu_disable
                                           (dec __num_online_cpus)
                                          ->cpuhp_invoke_callback
                                                preempt_disable
                                                access old_data0
           task1
 del old_data0                                  .....
 synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude()
 task1 schedule out
 ....
 task2 schedule in
 rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
     ->__num_online_cpus == 1
       ->return
 ....
 task1 schedule in
 ->free old_data0
                                                preempt_enable

when CPU1 dec __num_online_cpus and __num_online_cpus is equal one,
the CPU1 has not finished offline, stop_machine task(migration/1)
still running on CPU1, maybe still accessing 'old_data0', but the
'old_data0' has freed on CPU0.

In order to prevent the above scenario from happening, this commit
remove check for __num_online_cpus == 0 and add handling of calling
synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() during early boot(when the
rcu_scheduler_active variable is RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, the scheduler
not yet initialized and only one boot-CPU online).
