Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent

Merge RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney:

 " This series has four patches, the major point of which is to eliminate
   some slowdowns (including boot-time slowdowns) resulting from some
   RCU_FAST_NO_HZ changes.  The issue with the changes is that posting timers
   from the idle loop has no effect if the CPU has entered dyntick-idle
   mode because the CPU has already computed its wakeup time, and posting
   a timer does not cause it to be recomputed.  The short-term fix is for
   RCU to precompute the timeout value so that the CPU's calculation is
   correct. "
