From: Zhen Lei
Date: Tue Aug 16 2022 - 08:49:57 EST


v2 --> v3:
1. Eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup
2. Update the code based on the above patch and commit b37a667c6242
("rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot").

Test cases and test results as below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL | cmdline |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) N | N | none |
2) N | N | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3) Y | N | nohz_full=1-2 |
4) Y | Y | none |
