Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 05/48] rcu: ignore offline CPUs in last non-dyntick-idle CPU check

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>

Offline CPUs are not in nohz_cpu_mask, but can be ignored when checking
for the last non-dyntick-idle CPU.  This patch therefore only checks
online CPUs for not being dyntick idle, allowing fast entry into
full-system dyntick-idle state even when there are some offline CPUs.
