This change moves an RCU grace period delay off of the
critical path for CPU-hotunplug operations.
Since RCU callback migration is only performed on
CPU-hotunplug operations, and since the rcu_barrier() race is
provoked only by consecutive CPU-hotunplug operations, it is
not necessary to delay the end of a given CPU-hotunplug
operation.
We can instead choose to delay the beginning of the next
CPU-hotunplug operation.
