Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "SRCU changes:

   - These include debugging aids, updates that move towards the goal of
     permitting srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() to be used from
     idle and offline CPUs, and a few small fixes.

  Changes to rcutorture and to RCU documentation:

   - Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/188

  Enhancements to uniprocessor handling in tiny RCU:

   - Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/27/2

  Tag RCU callbacks with grace-period number to simplify callback
