rcu: Add tracing data to support queueing models 

The current tracing data is not sufficient to deduce the average time
that a callback spends waiting for a grace period to end.  Add three
per-CPU counters recording the number of callbacks invoked (ci), the
number of callbacks orphaned (co), and the number of callbacks adopted
(ca).  Given the existing callback queue length (ql), the average wait
time in absence of CPU hotplug operations is ql/ci.  The units of wait
time will be in terms of the duration over which ci was measured.

In the presence of CPU hotplug operations, there is room for argument,
but ql/(ci-co+ca) won't steer you too far wrong.

Also fixes a typo called out by Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com>.

been registered in absence of CPU-hotplug activity.
o "co" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been orphaned due to
this CPU going offline.
o "ca" is the number of RCU callbacks that have been adopted due to
other CPUs going offline. Note that ci+co-ca+ql is the number of
RCU callbacks registered on this CPU.
There is also an rcu/rcudata.csv file with the same information in

some other CPU via force_quiescent_state().
