rcu: Simplify RCU CPU-hotplug notification

Simplify RCU's CPU-hotplug notifiers so that there is only one
notifier. This makes it trivial to provide the ordering
guarantee that rcu_barrier() depends on. This change also
allows rcu_barrier() to rely on locking wholly contained in
_cpu_down(), rather than that of its callers, making the
locking more straightforward.
