Subject: [PATCH 07/11] rcu/nocb: Remove halfway (de-)offloading handling from rcu_core()'s QS reporting

RCU core can't be running anymore while in the middle of (de-)offloading
since this sort of transition now only applies to offline CPUs.

The locked callback acceleration handling during the transition can
therefore be removed.
