rcu: Provide compile-time control for no-CBs CPUs
Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs kernel command-line parameter. This is inconvenient in some cases, particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new set of kernel configuration parameters. CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE (the default) retains the old behavior, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO offloads callback processing from CPU 0 (along with any other CPUs specified by the rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL offloads callback processing from all CPUs.
