rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by the CPU number, for example, "rcuo". This is problematic given that there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU kthread with exactly the same name. This commit therefore introduces a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh, 'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched. This abbreviation is used to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have "rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0". Signed-off-by: Paul E.
