rcu: Control RCU_FANOUT_LEAF from boot-time parameter
Although making RCU_FANOUT_LEAF a kernel configuration parameter rather than a fixed constant makes it easier for people to decrease cache-miss overhead for large systems, it is of little help for people who must run a single pre-built kernel binary. This commit therefore allows the value of RCU_FANOUT_LEAF to be increased (but not decreased!) via a boot-time parameter named rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf.
