rcu: Disallow callback registry on offline CPUs
Posting a callback after the CPU_DEAD notifier effectively leaks that callback unless/until that CPU comes back online. Silence is unhelpful when attempting to track down such leaks, so this commit emits a WARN_ON_ONCE() and unconditionally leaks the callback when an offline CPU attempts to register a callback. The rdp->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] is set to NULL in the CPU_DEAD notifier and restored in the CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier, allowing _call_rcu() to determine exactly when posting callbacks is illegal.
