rcu: Move end of special early-boot RCU operation earlier

Browse source 
Ingo was getting warnings from rcu_scheduler_starting()
indicating that context switches had occurred before RCU ended
its special early-boot handling of grace periods.

This is a dangerous condition, as it indicates that RCU might
have prematurely ended grace periods.  This exploratory fix
moves rcu_scheduler_starting() earlier in boot.
