FYI, the second of the two checks triggered in all four one-hour runs of
TREE01, all four one-hour runs of TREE04, and one of the four one-hour
runs of TREE07.  This one:

WARN_ON_ONCE(count != 0 && rcu_segcblist_n_segment_cbs(&rdp->cblist) == 0);

That is, there are callbacks in the list, but the sum of the segment
counts is nevertheless zero.  The ->nocb_lock is held.

Thoughts?
