rcu: Size rcu_node tree from nr_cpu_ids rather than NR_CPUS
The rcu_node tree array is sized based on compile-time constants,
including NR_CPUS. Although this approach has worked well in the past,
the recent trend by many distros to define NR_CPUS=4096 results in
excessive grace-period-initialization latencies.
This commit therefore substitutes the run-time computed nr_cpu_ids for
the compile-time NR_CPUS when building the tree. This can result in
much of the compile-time-allocated rcu_node array being unused. If
this is a major problem, you are in a specialized situation anyway,
so you can manually adjust the NR_CPUS, RCU_FANOUT, and RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
kernel config parameters.
