One suggestion below.  With or without that change:

This seem clearer if written without the nesting:

#if defined(CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL)
static inline bool rcu_is_nocb_cpu(int cpu) { return true; }
#elif defined(CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU)
bool rcu_is_nocb_cpu(int cpu);
#else
static inline bool rcu_is_nocb_cpu(int cpu) { return false; }
#endif

That clearly distinguishes the three cases: all, some, none.
