No, my fault. I setup get_maintainer.pl to be called from git
send-email, but looks like i did it wrong :-)

Hmm... I think the main question is, whether it is ok for a cpu to be
removed from the system when rcutorture is running? In both cases it
would disappear from the cpu online mask, so i don't think the patch
would change the behaviour. But i can check and send additional patches
if there are other places that needs adjustment.
