Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 8/9] rcu: Fix FIXME in rcu_tasks_kthread()

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

This commit affines rcu_tasks_kthread() to the housekeeping CPUs
in CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL builds.  This is just a default, so systems
administrators are free to put this kthread somewhere else if they wish.
