Thanks for the report Stephen, I know today is the day of b0rked
linux-next builds :-(

I think Ingo merged Paul's patch already so here's a fix ontop:

Subject: [PATCH] smpboot: Fix CONFIG_SMP=n build

Stephen Rothwell reported a CONFIG_SMP=n breakage with latest rcu/next.
The timing of this is very unfortunate as we've been hunting this bug

So here's a fix ontop.
