rcu: Allow RCU grace-period cleanup to be preempted

RCU grace-period cleanup is currently carried out with interrupts
disabled, which can result in excessive latency spikes on large systems
(many hundreds or thousands of CPUs).  This patch therefore makes the
RCU grace-period cleanup be preemptible, including voluntary preemption
points, which should eliminate those latency spikes.  Similar spikes from
forcing of quiescent states will be dealt with similarly by later patches.

Updated to replace uses of spin_lock_irqsave() with spin_lock_irq(), as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
