FYI, the diffstat against the previous version of the same patch is as follows.
The rationale being:

1) rdp->nocb_cb_kthread doesn't need to be protected by nocb_gp_kthread_mutex

2) Once rcuoc is parked, we really _must_ observe the callback list counter decremented
   after the barrier's completion.

3) This fixes another issue: rcuoc must be parked _before_
   rcu_nocb_queue_toggle_rdp() is called, otherwise a nocb locked sequence
   within rcuoc would race with rcuog clearing SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED concurrently,
   leaving the nocb locked forever.
