Subject[PATCH v3] rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot
Date
From: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org>

On systems with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, there is no default mask provided
which ends up not offloading any CPU. This patch removes a dependency
from the bootloader having to know about RCU, about how many CPUs the
system has, and about how to provide the mask.

With the new option enabled, all CPUs will be offloaded on boot.

Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org>

v2 was forcing the option to override no_cbs=
v3 is back to v1 but with a config option defaulting to 'n'.
