Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This cycle's RCU changes were:

   - A few more RCU flavor consolidation cleanups.

   - Updates to RCU's list-traversal macros improving lockdep usability.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Avoid ignoring
     incoming callbacks during grace-period waits.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Use ->cblist
     structure to take advantage of others' grace periods.

   - Also added a small commit that avoids needlessly inflicting
     scheduler-clock ticks on callback-offloaded CPUs.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Reduce contention on
     ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Add ->nocb_bypass
     list to further reduce contention on ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Torture-test updates.

   - minor LKMM updates"
