srcu: Fix broken node geometry after early ssp init
An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry() will have its srcu_node hierarchy based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Once rcu_init_geometry() is called, this hierarchy is compressed as needed for the actual maximum number of CPUs for this system. Later on, that srcu_struct structure is confused, sometimes referring to its initial CONFIG_NR_CPUS-based hierarchy, and sometimes instead to the new num_possible_cpus() hierarchy. For example, each of its ->mynode fields continues to reference the original leaf rcu_node structures, some of which might no longer exist. On the other hand, srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() traverses to the new node hierarchy. There are at least two bad possible outcomes to this: 1) a) A callback enqueued early on an srcu_data structure (call it *sdp) is recorded pending on sdp->mynode->srcu_data_have_cbs in srcu_funnel_gp_start() with sdp->mynode pointing to a deep leaf (say 3 levels). b) The grace period ends after rcu_init_geometry() shrinks the nodes level to a single one. srcu_gp_end() walks through the new srcu_node hierarchy without ever reaching the old leaves so the callback is never executed. This is easily reproduced on an 8 CPUs machine with CONFIG_NR_CPUS >= 32 and "rcupdate.rcu_self_test=1". The srcu_barrier() after early tests verification never completes and the boot hangs: [ 5413.141029] INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 4915 seconds.

This commit therefore causes init_srcu_struct_nodes to initialize the geometry, if needed. This ensures that the srcu_node hierarchy is properly built and distributed from the get-go.
