[patch 08/15] sched, hotplug: Move sync_rcu to be with set_cpu_active(false)

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Mar 10 2016 - 07:08:22 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The sync_rcu stuff is specificically for clearing bits in the active
mask, such that everybody will observe the bit cleared and will not
consider the cleared CPU for load-balancing etc.
