Merge branch 'for-mingo' of...

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

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

  - Documentation updates.

  - Changes permitting use of call_rcu() and friends very early in
    boot, for example, before rcu_init() is invoked.

  - Miscellaneous fixes.

  - Add in-kernel API to enable and disable expediting of normal RCU
    grace periods.

  - Improve RCU's handling of (hotplug-) outgoing CPUs.

    Note: ARM support is lagging a bit here, and these improved
    diagnostics might generate (harmless) splats.

  - NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE fixes.

  - Tiny RCU updates to make it more tiny.
