rcu: permit discontiguous cpu_possible_mask CPU numbering

TREE_RCU assumes that CPU numbering is contiguous, but some users need
large holes in the numbering to better map to hardware layout.  This patch
makes TREE_RCU (and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU) tolerate large holes in the CPU
numbering.  However, NR_CPUS must still be greater than the largest
CPU number.
