Subject: [PATCH 00/19] rcu/nocb: De-offload and re-offload support v4

This keeps growing up. Rest assured, most of it is debug code and sanity
checks.

Boqun Feng found that holding rnp lock while updating the offloaded
state of an rdp isn't needed, and he was right despite my initial
reaction. The sites that read the offloaded state while holding the rnp
lock are actually protected because they read it locally in a non
preemptible context.

So I removed the rnp lock in "rcu/nocb: De-offloading CB". And just to
make sure I'm not missing something, I added sanity checks that ensure
we always read the offloaded state in a safe way (3 last patches).

Still passes TREE01 (but I had to fight!)
