srcu: Add boot-time control over srcu_node array allocation
This commit adds an srcu_tree.convert_to_big kernel parameter that either refuses to convert at all (0), converts immediately at init_srcu_struct() time (1), or lets rcutorture convert it (2). An addition contention-based dynamic conversion choice will be added, along with documentation.

+ srcutree.convert_to_big [KNL]
+ Specifies under what conditions an SRCU tree
+ srcu_struct structure will be converted to big
+ form, that is, with an rcu_node tree:
+
+ 0: Never.
+ 1: At init_srcu_struct() time.
+ 2: When rcutorture decides to.
+
+ Either way, the srcu_node tree will be sized based
