rcu: Add synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive
This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that implements the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods. This primitive is placed in kernel/sched.c rather than kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to interact closely with the migration_thread() kthread. The idea is to wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL, in response to which the kthread reports the quiescent state resulting from the kthread having been scheduled. Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of the primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and offlining, a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as well.
