rcu: optimize rcutiny

rcu_sched_qs() currently calls local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() up
to three times.

Remove irq masking from rcu_qsctr_help() / invoke_rcu_kthread()
and do it once in rcu_sched_qs() / rcu_bh_qs()

This generates smaller code as well.

Fix an outdated comment for rcu_qsctr_help()
Move invoke_rcu_kthread() definition before its use.
