[PATCH] notifier: Initialize new struct srcu_usage field

In commit 95433f726301 ("srcu: Begin offloading srcu_struct fields to
srcu_update"), a new struct srcu_usage field was added, but was not
properly initialized. This led to a "spinlock bad magic" BUG when
the SRCU notifier was ever used. This was observed in the MediaTek
CCI devfreq driver on next-20230525. Trimmed stack trace as follows:

    BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#4, swapper/0/1
     lock: 0xffffff80ff529ac0, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0
    Call trace:
     spin_bug+0xa4/0xe8
     do_raw_spin_lock+0xec/0x120
     _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x78/0xb8

     devfreq_passive_event_handler+0x7c/0x3e0
     devfreq_remove_device+0x48/0xe8

Add __SRCU_USAGE_INIT() to SRCU_NOTIFIER_INIT() so that srcu_usage gets
initialized properly.

Also, the original patch subject said "srcu_update", however the data
structure ended up as "srcu_usage". Maybe that could be updated?
