[PATCH 00/16] rcu/nocb: De-offload and re-offload support v3

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Hi,

This is the third attempt to make rcu-nocb mutable at runtime. See
v2 there: https://lwn.net/Articles/832031/

Many fixes included and rcutorture support:

03: Whitespace fix
04: Add "rcu/nocb: Always init segcblist on CPU up" (Thanks rcutorture!)
05: Add return value for failure on (de)offloading
06: Add "rcu/nocb: Don't deoffload an offline CPU with pending work" (Thanks Paul!)
12: Add "rcu/nocb: Only cond_resched() from actual offloaded batch processing" (Thanks rcutorture!)
14: Write a real and more self-confident changelog
15/16: Add rcutorture support (thanks Paul!)

My last remaining worry, as exposed in 13/16, is that __call_rcu_core()
isn't called during transition states. I need to see how I can handle
that.
