rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 4

Browse Source 
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extending over many hours.  This group improves an existing
abstraction and introduces two new ones.  It also fixes an RCU
stall-warning bug found while making the other changes.

o	Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing
	the need to declare them at each call site.

o	Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf
	nodes of the rcu_node tree.

o	Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does
	a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA
	stepping through the array in index-number order.

o	If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
	structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf
	will be moved to the root rcu_node structure.  Therefore,
	the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the
	root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf
	rcu_node structures.
