Good catch!

use case?
Also, should the two definitions of rcu_is_callbacks_kthread() be merged?
It looks like the current situation dates back to when the only time
rcuc kthreads were created was in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y.
If so, the definition of this function should move from tree_plugin.h
to tree.c.

The problem here is that the first part of that condition is duplicated.
This is an accident waiting to happen when someone fixes one side of that
#ifdef without also adjusting the other side. One approach is to define a
function that tests "nocb_cb_kthread == current" in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
kernels and just returns "false" otherwise.
Alternatively, you could make ->nocb_cb_kthread defined unconditionally,
but left always NULL in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n kernels.
