rcu: Grace-period initialization excludes only RCU notifier

Kirill noted the following deadlock cycle on shutdown involving padata:

It would of course be good to eliminate grace-period delays from
CPU-hotplug notifiers, but that is a separate issue.  Deadlock is
not an appropriate diagnostic for excessive CPU-hotplug latency.

Fortunately, grace-period initialization does not actually need to
exclude all of the CPU-hotplug operation, but rather only RCU's own
CPU_UP_PREPARE and CPU_DEAD CPU-hotplug notifiers.  This commit therefore
introduces a new per-rcu_state onoff_mutex that provides the required
concurrency control in place of the get_online_cpus() that was previously
in rcu_gp_init().
