Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu] Fix attempt to avoid offloading callbacks
 unless requested

[ Note: This applies on top of commit 187497fa5e9e (rcu: Allow for NULL
	tick_nohz_full_mask when nohz_full= missing) in -tip
	or -rcu.  To make this work on top of rcu/next, move the
	call to rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads(rsp) to the end of the
	for_each_rcu_flavor(rsp) loop in rcu_init_nohz(). ]

Commit b58cc46c5f6b (rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically
requested) failed to adjust the callback lists of the CPUs that are
known to be no-CBs CPUs only because they are also nohz_full= CPUs.
This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot
getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes
apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline
CPUs posting callbacks.

This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz()
that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs.

Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n do not exhibit this bug.  Neither do kernels
booted without the nohz_full= boot parameter.
