[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/4] rcu: Run rcuo kthreads at elevated priority in CONFIG_RCU_BOOST kernels

[paulmck@kernel.org]

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

The priority level of the rcuo kthreads is the system administrator's
responsibility, but kernels that priority-boost RCU readers probably need
the rcuo kthreads running at the rcutree.kthread_prio level.  This commit
therefore sets these kthreads to that priority level at creation time,
providing a sensible default.  The system administrator is free to adjust
as needed at any time.
