rcu: Force per-rcu_node kthreads off of the outgoing CPU
The scheduler has had some heartburn in the past when too many real-time
kthreads were affinitied to the outgoing CPU. So, this commit lightens
the load by forcing the per-rcu_node and the boost kthreads off of the
outgoing CPU. Note that RCU's per-CPU kthread remains on the outgoing
CPU until the bitter end, as it must in order to preserve correctness.
Also avoid disabling hardirqs across calls to set_cpus_allowed_ptr(),
given that this function can block.
