[PATCH 06/16] rcu/nocb: Don't deoffload an offline CPU with pending work

[Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>]

Offlining offloaded CPUs don't migrate their callbacks just like
non-offloaded CPUs do. It's up to their CB/GP kthread to handle what
remains.

Therefore we can't afford to de-offload an offline CPU that still has
pending work to do, or the callbacks would be ignored.

NOTE: The long term solution will be to wait for all pending callbacks
to be processed before completing a CPU down operation.
