rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that started life on one of the CPUs on that node. In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists. These tasks need to be moved somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
