Hello!

This series includes changes affecting NOCBs and NO_HZ_FULL operation.

1.      Fix for bug in earlier patch (b58cc46c5f6b, Don't offload
        callbacks unless specifically requested) that properly handles
        early-boot callbacks.  (This bug affects unusual configurations,
        see commit log for more information.)

2.      Properly check the return value of zalloc_cpumask_var(), courtesy
        of Pranith Kumar.

3.      Use bool constant for __call_rcu_nocb() return value, courtesy
        of Pranith Kumar.

4.      Use bool constant for rcu_nocb_adopt_orphan_cbs() return value,
        courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

5.      Use bool constant for __call_rcu_nocb() return value in the case
        where callbacks are not offloaded, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

6.      Use bool constant for rcu_nocb_adopt_orphan_cbs() return value in
        the case where callbacks are not offloaded, courtesy of Pranith
        Kumar.

7.      Aggregate RCU's kthread creation so that it is all done from a
        single early_initcall() function.

8.      Create rcuo kthreads only for CPUs that actually have come online
        at least once since boot.

9.      Check have_rcu_nocb_mask instead of for a NULL rcu_nocb_mask,
        given that this latter is not necessarily a pointer, courtesy
        of Pranith Kumar.

10.     Eliminate redundant rcu_sysidle_state variable.

11.     Don't bother tracking sysidle state if there are no nohz_full=
        CPUs in the system.

12.     Avoid misordering in __call_rcu_nocb_enqueue().

13.     Handle NOCB callbacks from irq-disabled idle code.

14.     Avoid misordering in nocb_leader_wait().

                                                        Thanx, Paul
