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

Pull the v3.18 RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:

"
  * Update RCU documentation.  These were posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/378.

  * Miscellaneous fixes.  These were posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/386.  An additional fix that
    eliminates a documented (but now inconvenient) deadlock between
    RCU hotplug and expedited grace periods was posted at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/573.

  * Changes related to No-CBs CPUs and NO_HZ_FULL.  These were posted
    to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/412.

  * Torture-test updates.  These were posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/546 and at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/1114.

  * RCU-tasks implementation.  These were posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/28/540.
