[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/5] Miscellaneous fixes for 4.9

From: Paul E. McKenney

Hello!

This series contains miscellaneous fixes:

1. Fix a soft lockup in the RCU's callback-offload (rcuo) kthreads,
courtesy of Ding Tianhong.

2. Use rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to wake up grace period kthreads,
avoiding spurious/redundant wakeups, courtesy of Jisheng Zhang.

3. Make wake_up_nohz_cpu() handle CPUs going offline.

4. Don't use modular infrastructure in non-modular code, courtesy
of Paul Gortmaker.

5. Avoid redundant quiescent-state chasing by more carefully
initializing flags for newly onlined CPUs.

Thanx, Paul
