[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 2/4] rcu: Eliminate ->onoff_mutex from rcu_node structure

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Because that RCU grace-period initialization need no longer exclude
CPU-hotplug operations, this commit eliminates the ->onoff_mutex and
its uses.
