[SRU][N][PATCH 1/4] rcu-tasks: Initialize callback lists at rcu_init() time

[Matthew Ruffell]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck at kernel.org>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2117123

In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting
tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks
to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0
(an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels).  And at the time that
rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit,
unconventional though that sort of thing might be.

This commit therefore moves the calls to cblist_init_generic() from
functions called from rcu_init_tasks_generic() to a new function named
tasks_cblist_init_generic() that is invoked from rcu_init().

This constituted a bug in a commit that never went to mainline, so
there is no need for any backporting to -stable.
