rcu: Cleanup RCU urgency state for offline CPU

When a CPU is slow to provide a quiescent state for a given grace
period, RCU takes steps to encourage that CPU to get with the
quiescent-state program in a more timely fashion.  These steps
include these flags in the rcu_data structure:

1.	->rcu_urgent_qs, which causes the scheduling-clock interrupt to
	request an otherwise pointless context switch from the scheduler.

2.	->rcu_need_heavy_qs, which causes both cond_resched() and RCU's
	context-switch hook to do an immediate momentary quiscent state.

3.	->rcu_need_heavy_qs, which causes the scheduler-clock tick to
	be enabled even on nohz_full CPUs with only one runnable task.

These flags are of course cleared once the corresponding CPU has passed
through a quiescent state.  Unless that quiescent state is the CPU
going offline, which means that when the CPU comes back online, it will
needlessly consume additional CPU time and incur additional latency,
which constitutes a minor but very real performance bug.

This commit therefore adds the call to rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs()
that clears these flags to the CPU-hotplug offlining code path.
