McKenney" As the first step towards allowing grace-period initialization to be preemptible, this commit moves the RCU grace-period initialization into its own kthread. This is needed to keep large-system scheduling latency at reasonable levels. Reported-by: Mike Galbraith Reported-by: Dimitri Sivanich Signed-off-by: Paul E.
