Add 'P' flag to the diagnostic line to indicate whether any per-cpu
rtpcp's lazy_timer is pending.  this helps diagnose stalls where
rcu-task callbacks are queued but the kthread stay sleep because
the lazy_timer has not yet fired and no grace period has started.

The output is as follows:

[   31.319540][   T77] call_rcu_tasks() has failed boot-time tests.
[   31.320205][   T77] rcu_tasks: RTGS_WAIT_CBS(11) since 7518 g:4 i:0 kCuUP l:150000
