srcu: Push srcu_node allocation to GP when non-preemptible

When the srcutree.convert_to_big and srcutree.big_cpu_lim kernel boot
parameters specify initialization-time allocation of the srcu_node
tree for statically allocated srcu_struct structures (for example, in
DEFINE_SRCU() at build time instead of init_srcu_struct() at runtime),
init_srcu_struct_nodes() will attempt to dynamically allocate this tree
at the first run-time update-side use of this srcu_struct structure,
but while holding a raw spinlock.  Because the memory allocator can
acquire non-raw spinlocks, this can result in lockdep splats.

This commit therefore uses the same SRCU_SIZE_ALLOC trick that is used
when the first run-time update-side use of this srcu_struct structure
happens before srcu_init() is called.  The actual allocation then takes
place from workqueue context at the ends of upcoming SRCU grace periods.
