[PATCH 15/45] rcu: Use get/put_online_cpus_atomic() to prevent CPUoffline

[Srivatsa S. Bhat]

Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be able
to depend on disabling preemption to prevent CPUs from going offline
from under us.

In RCU code, rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() checks if a CPU is offline,
while being protected by a spinlock. Use the get/put_online_cpus_atomic()
APIs to prevent CPUs from going offline, while invoking from atomic context.
