[RFC v2 14/18] rcu: Store first_gp_fqs into struct rcu_state

[Petr Mladek]

We are going to try split the rcu kthread into few kthread works.
We will not stay in the funciton all the time and "first_gp_fqs"
variable will not preserve the state. Let's store it into
struct rcu_state.

Note that this change is needed only when the split into more
kthread works is accepted.

The patch does not change the existing behavior.
