rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying

Browse source 
When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).

If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.

This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:

	 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.

So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.
