[ Upstream commit 3002153a91a9732a6d1d0bb95138593c7da15743 ]

The RCU priority boosting can fail in two situations:

1) If (nr_cpus= > maxcpus=), which means if the total number of CPUs
is higher than those brought online at boot, then torture_onoff() may
later bring up CPUs that weren't online on boot. Now since rcutorture
initialization only boosts the ksoftirqds of the CPUs that have been
set online on boot, the CPUs later set online by torture_onoff won't
benefit from the boost, making RCU priority boosting fail.

2) The ksoftirqd kthreads are boosted after the creation of
rcu_torture_boost() kthreads, which opens a window large enough for these
rcu_torture_boost() kthreads to wait (despite running at FIFO priority)
for ksoftirqds that are still running at SCHED_NORMAL priority.

The issues can trigger for example with:

	./kvm.sh --configs TREE01 --kconfig "CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y"

Fix this with boosting the ksoftirqds kthreads from the boosting
hotplug callback itself and before the boosting kthreads are created.
