Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/15] rcu: Properly initialize ->boost_tasks on CPU offline

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

When rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() clears tasks from a leaf rcu_node
structure, it does not NULL out the structure's ->boost_tasks field.
This commit therefore fixes this issue.
