rcu: Move quiescent-state forcing into kthread

As the first step towards allowing quiescent-state forcing to be
preemptible, this commit moves RCU quiescent-state forcing into the
same kthread that is now used to initialize and clean up after grace
periods.  This is yet another step towards keeping scheduling
latency down to a dull roar.
