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

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

  * Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs, make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ
    take advantage of numbered callbacks, do additional callback
    accelerations based on numbered callbacks.  Posted to LKML
    at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/960.

  * RCU documentation updates.  Posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/570.

  * Miscellaneous fixes.  Posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/594.
