On a second thought, they must be somehow indirectly related because I
had "rcu_nocbs=4-7" on the command line and have the warning on the same
CPUs: 4 - 7.

Actually, NO_HZ_FULL_ALL makes all CPUs full dynticks so I'd guess the
RCU callback offloading happens on all of them, thus the warning can
happen on every CPU which is in full dynticks mode but not online yet.
