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
