Queued for v5.20, thank you!

I wordsmithed the commit log as shown below, so could you please
check it?

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu: Add nocb_cb_kthread check to rcu_is_callbacks_kthread()
    
    Callbacks are invoked in RCU kthreads when calbacks are offloaded
    (rcu_nocbs boot parameter) or when RCU's softirq handler has been
    offloaded to rcuc kthreads (use_softirq==0).  The current code allows
    for the rcu_nocbs case but not the use_softirq case.  This commit adds
    support for the use_softirq case.
