rcu: Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive

The rcu_barrier() primitive interrupts each and every CPU, registering
a callback on every CPU.  Once all of these callbacks have been invoked,
rcu_barrier() knows that every callback that was registered before
the call to rcu_barrier() has also been invoked.

However, there is no point in registering a callback on a CPU that
currently has no callbacks, most especially if that CPU is in a
deep idle state.  This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier() avoid
interrupting CPUs that have no callbacks.  Doing this requires reworking
the handling of orphaned callbacks, otherwise callbacks could slip through
rcu_barrier()'s net by being orphaned from a CPU that rcu_barrier() had
not yet interrupted to a CPU that rcu_barrier() had already interrupted.
This reworking was needed anyway to take a first step towards weaning
RCU from the CPU_DYING notifier's use of stop_cpu().
