Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull two small RCU fixlets from Ingo Molnar. * 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param rcu: Prevent soft-lockup complaints about no-CBs CPUs
