mips/smp: Call rcutree_report_cpu_starting() earlier



rcutree_report_cpu_starting() must be called before
clockevents_register_device() to avoid the following lockdep splat triggered by
calling list_add() when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y:

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  ...
  -----------------------------
  kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3680 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
  no locks held by swapper/1/0.
  ...
  Call Trace:

raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into lockdep
before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.
