Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 2/2] rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

RCU currently uses for_each_possible_cpu() to spawn rcuo kthreads,
which can result in more rcuo kthreads than one would expect, for
example, derRichard reported 64 CPUs worth of rcuo kthreads on an
8-CPU image.  This commit therefore creates rcuo kthreads only for
those CPUs that actually come online.

Reported-by: derRichard
