[PATCH 2/4] RCU: make priority of grace-period thread consistent

[Alison Chaiken]

The priority of RCU grace period threads is set to kthread_prio when
they are launched from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().  The same is not true
of rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread().  Accordingly, add priority elevation
to rcu_spawn_one_nocb_kthread().
