[PATCH 6/9] rcu: Permit start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to be invoked early

["Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>]

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

According to the commit log of the patch that added it to the kernel,
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked very early, as
in long before rcu_init() has been invoked.  But before rcu_init(),
the rcu_data structure's ->mynode field has not yet been initialized.
This means that the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() function's
attempt to set the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_poll_rq
field will result in a segmentation fault.

This commit therefore causes start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
set ->exp_seq_poll_rq only after rcu_init() has initialized all CPUs'
rcu_data structures' ->mynode fields.  It also removes the check from
the rcu_init() function so that start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited(
is unconditionally invoked.  Yes, this might result in an unnecessary
boot-time grace period, but this is down in the noise.
