v5 --> v6: 1. Frist, update patch 1/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes effect only when there are no 'rcu_nocbs=' and 'nohz_full='. Retain the same semantics as the original. 2. Then, add patch 2/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes effect as long as there is no "rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter. This is suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
