[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/19] rcu: Invoke rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread()

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

Currently, rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() is invoked via an early_initcall(),
which works, except that rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() is also invoked via an
early_initcall() and rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() relies on adjustments to
kthread_prio that are carried out by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().  There is
no guaranttee of ordering among early_initcall() handlers, and thus no
guarantee that kthread_prio will be properly checked and range-limited
at the time that rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() needs it.

In most cases, this bug is harmless.  After all, the only reason that
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() adjusts the value of kthread_prio is if the user
specified a nonsensical value for this boot parameter, which experience
indicates is rare.

Nevertheless, a bug is a bug.  This commit therefore causes the
rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() function to be invoked directly from
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() after any needed adjustments to kthread_prio have
been carried out.
