[PATCH rcu 06/10] rcu: Make priority of grace-period thread consistent

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Alison Chaiken <achaiken@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The priority of RCU grace period threads is set to kthread_prio when
they are launched from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().  The same is not true
of rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread().  Accordingly, add priority elevation
to rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread().
