Looks promising! A couple of questions below.

Do we need to set rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep to true in here somewhere?

Is it the case that other than when (de-)offloading, the rcuog kthread
is never awakened when rcu_nocb_poll is set? If this is not the case,
we would have spurious wakeups. (I believe that rcu_nocb_poll suppresses
those wakeups, but it would be good to check.)
