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

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having user
     threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue instead.

   - Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists that was
     sent with the lists modifications.

   - CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online
     tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the checks
     supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the assumption
     that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to come online.

   - Torture-test updates.

   - Documentation updates"
