rcu: Enable fourth level of TREE_RCU hierarchy
Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This is for stress-testing and experiemental purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216 CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system, though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.
