[PATCH v4 0/2] rcu/nocb: Delete local variable 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' in rcu_init_nohz()

[Zhen Lei]

v3 --> v4:
Fix a build warning.
-       struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;
+       const struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;

v2 --> v3:
1. Eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup
2. Update the code based on the above patch and commit b37a667c6242
   ("rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot").

Test cases and test results as below:
