rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs
RCU currently uses for_each_possible_cpu() to spawn rcuo kthreads,
which can result in more rcuo kthreads than one would expect, for
example, derRichard reported 64 CPUs worth of rcuo kthreads on an
8-CPU image. This commit therefore creates rcuo kthreads only for
those CPUs that actually come online.
This was reported by derRichard on the OFTC IRC network.
