Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar.  The major features of this
series are:

 - making RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order
   to improve energy efficiency

 - converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s

 - applying a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny

 - removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs from treercu

 - allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs

 - adding CPU-stall capability to rcutorture

 - adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics

 - updating documentation

 - fixing yet more issues located by the still-ongoing top-to-bottom
   inspection of RCU, this time with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug
   code path.

  rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to rcutree.c
  rcu: Check for illegal use of RCU from offlined CPUs
  rcu: Update stall-warning documentation
