rcu: Reset rcu_fanout_leaf if out of bounds
Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that is, less than RCU_FANOUT_LEAF or greater than the number of bits in an unsigned long), a warning is issued and execution continues with the out-of-bounds value. This can result in all manner of failures, so this patch resets rcu_fanout_leaf to RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when an out-of-bounds condition is detected. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
