From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
The ->nocb_lock lockdep assertion is currently guarded by cpu_online(),
which is incorrect for no-CBs CPUs, whose callback lists must be
protected by ->nocb_lock regardless of whether or not the corresponding
CPU is online. This situation could result in failure to detect bugs
resulting from failing to hold ->nocb_lock for offline CPUs.
This commit therefore removes the cpu_online() guard.
