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 main changes in this cycle are mostly related to preparatory work
  for the full-dynticks work:

   - Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs, make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take
     advantage of numbered callbacks, do callback accelerations based on
     numbered callbacks.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/960

   - RCU documentation updates.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/570

   - Miscellaneous fixes.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/594"
