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

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were:

   - Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.

   - Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to
     their vanilla RCU counterparts. This series is a step towards
     complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions.

     ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
       respective maintainers. )

   - Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
     updates from Joel Fernandes.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for rcutorture
     testing.

   - Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.

     ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
       respective maintainers. )

   - SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein for a
     bag-on-head-class bug.

   - RCU torture-test updates"
