Hello,

rcu: Simplify offline processing
Move ->qsmaskinit and blkd_tasks[] manipulation to the CPU_DYING
notifier. This simplifies the code by eliminating a potential
deadlock and by reducing the responsibilities of force_quiescent_state().
Also rename functions to make their connection to the CPU-hotplug
stages explicit.

introduced WARN_ON_ONCE(cpu_is_offline(smp_processor_id())); to __call_rcu()
function, Paul also added cpu_offline checks to other routines (e.g. callbacks)
in later commits. It happens that kmemleak() triggers one of them.
During cpu core offline, kfree()->kmemleak_free()->put_object()-->__call_rcu() chain
for struct intel_shared_regs * is executed when no struct users left on this core --
all CPUs are dead or dying.

[ 4705.588507] CPU 2 is now offline
My first solution was to return from delete_object() if object deallocation
performed on cpu_is_offline(smp_processor_id()), marking object with special
flag, say OBJECT_ORPHAN. And issue real object_delete() during scan (for example)
when we see OBJECT_ORPHAN object.
That, however, requires to handle special case when cpu core offlined
for small period of time, leading to object insertion error in
create_object(), which either may be handled in 2 possible ways (assuming
that lookup_object() returned OBJECT_ORPHAN):
#1 delete orphaned object and retry with insertion (*)
#2 re-set existing orphan object
(*) performing delete_object() from within create_object() requires releasing
of held kmemleak and object locks, which is racy with other create_object() and
any possible scan() activities.
Yet I'm not exactly sure that option #2 is the correct one.
(I've kind of a patch [not properly tested, etc.] for #2 option).
