Subject: [PATCH rcu 16/32] rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace stall warning handle idle offline tasks

When a CPU is offline, its idle task can appear to be running, but it
cannot be doing anything while CPU-hotplug operations are excluded.
This commit takes advantage of that fact by making trc_check_slow_task()
check for task_curr(t) && cpu_online(task_cpu(t)), and recording
full information in that case.
