rcu: Return early if callback is not specified

[ Upstream commit 33b6a1f155d627f5bd80c7485c598ce45428f74f ]

Currently the call_rcu() API does not check whether a callback
pointer is NULL. If NULL is passed, rcu_core() will try to invoke
it, resulting in NULL pointer dereference and a kernel crash.

To prevent this and improve debuggability, this patch adds a check
for NULL and emits a kernel stack trace to help identify a faulty
caller.
