rcu: create rcu_my_thread_group_empty() wrapper

Some RCU-lockdep splat repairs need to know whether they are running in a single-threaded process. Unfortunately, the thread_group_empty() primitive is defined in sched.h, and can induce #include hell. This commit therefore introduces a rcu_my_thread_group_empty() wrapper that is defined in rcupdate.c, thus avoiding the need to include sched.h everywhere.
