Pull RCU fix from Neeraj Upadhyay:
 "Fix rcuog kthread wakeup invocation from softirq context on a CPU
  which has been marked offline.

  This can happen when new callbacks are enqueued from a softirq on an
  offline CPU before it calls rcutree_report_cpu_dead(). When this
  happens on NOCB configuration, the rcuog wake-up is deferred through
  an IPI to an online CPU. This is done to avoid call into the scheduler
  which can risk arming the RT-bandwidth after hrtimers have been
  migrated out and disabled.

  However, doing IPI call from softirq is not allowed: Fix this by
  forcing deferred rcuog wakeup through the NOCB timer when the CPU is
  offline"
