Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

- Updates to use cond_resched() instead of cond_resched_rcu_qs()
  where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and
  in kernel/torture.c).  Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending
  IPIs to offline CPUs.

- Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.

- Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends()
  and read_barrier_depends().

- Miscellaneous fixes.

- Torture-test updates.
