[RFC PATCH 07/12] rcu: Shutdown nocb timer on de-offloading

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 08:44:39 EST


Make sure the nocb timer can't fire anymore before we reach the final
de-offload state. Spuriously waking up the GP kthread is no big deal but
we must prevent from executing the timer callback without nocb locking.
