Much nicer, thank you!

As usual, I could not resist the urge to wordsmith.  Could you please
check to make sure that I did not mess anything up?

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu: Simplify rcu_init_nohz() cpumask handling
    
    In kernels built with either CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y or
    CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, additional CPUs must be added to rcu_nocb_mask.
    Except that kernels booted without the rcu_nocb_mask= will not have
    allocated rcu_nocb_mask.  And the current rcu_init_nohz() function uses
    its need_rcu_nocb_mask and offload_all local variables to track the
    rcu_nocb and nohz_full state.
    
    But there is a much simpler approach, namely creating a cpumask pointer
    to track the default and then using cpumask_available() to check the
    rcu_nocb_mask state.  This commit takes this approach, thereby simplifying
    and shortening the rcu_init_nohz() function.
