rcu: Prevent offline CPUs from executing RCU core code
Earlier versions of RCU invoked the RCU core from the CPU_DYING notifier in order to note a quiescent state for the outgoing CPU. Because the CPU is marked "offline" during the execution of the CPU_DYING notifiers, the RCU core had to tolerate being invoked from an offline CPU. However, commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) left only tracing code in the CPU_DYING notifier, so the RCU core need no longer execute on offline CPUs. This commit therefore enforces this restriction. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
