rcu: Add synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive

This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that
implements the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods.

This primitive is placed in kernel/sched.c rather than
kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to interact closely with the
migration_thread() kthread.

The idea is to wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL,
in response to which the kthread reports the quiescent state
resulting from the kthread having been scheduled.

Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of
the primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and
offlining, a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as
well.
