…nel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates, perhaps most notably Neil Brown's writeup of
   the reference-counting analogy to RCU.

 - Expedited grace-period cleanups.

 - Remove CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ due to lack of valid users. I have asked
   around, posted a blog entry, and sent this series to LKML without
   result.

 - Miscellaneous fixes.

 - RCU callback offloading updates, perhaps most notably Frederic
   Weisbecker's updates allowing CPUs booted in the de-offloaded state
   to be offloaded at runtime.

 - nolibc fixes from Willy Tarreau and Anmar Faizi, but also including
   Mark Brown's addition of gettid().

 - RCU Tasks Trace fixes, including changes that increase the
   scalability of call_rcu_tasks_trace() for the BPF folks (Martin Lau
   and KP Singh).

 - Various fixes including those from Wander Lairson Costa and Li
   Zhijian.

 - Fixes plus addition of tests for the increased call_rcu_tasks_trace()
   scalability.
