Subject: [PATCH v3 07/45] CPU hotplug: Add _nocheck() variants of accessor
 functions

Sometimes, we have situations where the synchronization design of a
particular subsystem handles CPU hotplug properly, but the details are
non-trivial, making it hard to teach this to the rudimentary hotplug
locking validator. In such cases, it would be useful to have a set of
_nocheck() variants of the cpu accessor functions, to avoid false-positive
warnings from the hotplug locking validator.

However, we won't go overboard with that; we'll add them only on a
case-by-case basis and mandate that the call-sites which use them add
a comment explaining why it is hotplug safe and hence justify the use
of the _nocheck() variants.

At the moment, the RCU and the percpu-counter code have legitimate
reasons to use the _nocheck() variants, so let's add them for
cpu_is_offline() and for_each_online_cpu(), for use in those subsystems
respectively.
