From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp().  A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp().  The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.
