I ended up with the following, mostly just rewording the comment and
adding a one-liner on the change.  Does this work for you?

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu: Make expedited GPs handle CPU 0 being offline
    
    Currently, the parallelized initialization of expedited grace periods uses
    the workqueue associated with each rcu_node structure's ->grplo field.
    This works fine unless that CPU is offline.  This commit therefore
    uses the CPU corresponding to the lowest-numbered online CPU, or just
    reports the quiescent states if there are no online CPUs on this rcu_node
    structure.
    
    Note that this patch uses cpu_is_offline() instead of the usual
    approach of checking bits in the rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
    field.  This is safe because preemption is disabled across both the
    cpu_is_offline() check and the call to queue_work_on().
