Hello!

This series provides energy efficiency for nearly-idle systems by making
call_rcu() more lazy. Several NOCB changes come along for the ride:

1. Simplify rcu_init_nohz() cpumask handling, courtesy of Zhen Lei.

2. Fix late wakeup when flush of bypass cblist happens, courtesy of
"Joel Fernandes (Google)".

3. Fix missing nocb gp wake on rcu_barrier(), courtesy of Frederic
Weisbecker.

4. Make call_rcu() lazy to save power, courtesy of "Joel Fernandes
(Google)".

5. Refactor code a bit in rcu_nocb_do_flush_bypass(), courtesy of
"Joel Fernandes (Google)".

6. Shrinker for lazy rcu, courtesy of Vineeth Pillai.

7. Add laziness and kfree tests, courtesy of "Joel Fernandes
(Google)".

8. Use call_rcu_hurry() instead of call_rcu, courtesy of "Joel
Fernandes (Google)".

9. Use call_rcu_hurry() for async reader test, courtesy of "Joel
Fernandes (Google)".

10. Use call_rcu_hurry() where needed, courtesy of "Joel Fernandes
(Google)".

11. scsi/scsi_error: Use call_rcu_hurry() instead of call_rcu(),
courtesy of Uladzislau Rezki.

12. percpu-refcount: Use call_rcu_hurry() for atomic switch, courtesy
of "Joel Fernandes (Google)".

13. Make queue_rcu_work() use call_rcu_hurry(), courtesy of Uladzislau
Rezki.

14. Use call_rcu_hurry() instead of call_rcu(), courtesy of "Joel
Fernandes (Google)".

15. Use call_rcu_hurry() for dst_release(), courtesy of "Joel
Fernandes (Google)".

16. devinet: Reduce refcount before grace period, courtesy of Eric
Dumazet.

Changes since v2:

o Rename call_rcu_flush() to call_rcu_hurry() to avoid naming
conflicts in workqueues as suggested by Tejun Heo.

o Apply acks and reviews.
