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.
