The RCU-friendly string API used internally by BTRFS is generic enough for
common use. This doesn't add any new functionality, but instead just moves the
code and documents the existing API.

Alright, here's one more go at it.

v7: Add arguments to kernel doc for printk wrappers, use ##__VA_ARGS
v6: Add header dependencies to rcustring.h
v5: Rebase against v3.18-rc3
v4: Don't return anything from the printk wrappers on the assumption that
printk will return void someday
v3: Add __rcu annotation to relevant functions, add Paul's ack and Josh's
