rcu: Allow for NULL tick_nohz_full_mask when nohz_full= missing
If there isn't a nohz_full= kernel parameter specified, then tick_nohz_full_mask can legitimately be NULL. This can cause problems when RCU's boot code tries to cpumask_or() this value into rcu_nocb_mask. In addition, if NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y, there is no point in doing the cpumask_or() in the first place because this will cause RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, which in turn will have all bits already set in rcu_nocb_mask. This commit therefore avoids the cpumask_or() if NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y and checks for !tick_nohz_full_running otherwise, this latter check catching cases when there was no nohz_full= kernel parameter specified.
