powerpc/smp: Call rcu_cpu_starting() earlier
The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in start_secondary() is not early
enough in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep
splats as follows (with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y):
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xec/0x144 (unreliable)

register_decrementer_clockevent+0x94/0x110
start_secondary+0x134/0x800
start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14
This is avoided by adding a call to rcu_cpu_starting() near the
beginning of the start_secondary() function. Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into
lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
It's safe to call rcu_cpu_starting() in the arch code as well as later
in generic code, as explained by Paul:
It uses a per-CPU variable so that RCU pays attention only to the
first call to rcu_cpu_starting() if there is more than one of them.
This is even intentional, due to there being a generic
arch-independent call to rcu_cpu_starting() in
notify_cpu_starting().
So multiple calls to rcu_cpu_starting() are fine by design.
