rcu: Silence compiler array out-of-bounds false positive

It turns out that gcc 4.8 warns on array indexes being out of bounds
unless it can prove otherwise.  It gives this warning on some RCU
initialization code.  Because this is far from any fastpath, add
an explicit check for array bounds and panic if so.  This gives the
compiler enough information to figure out that the array index is never
out of bounds.

However, if a similar false positive occurs on a fastpath, it will
probably be necessary to tell the compiler to keep its array-index
anxieties to itself.  ;-)
