Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent
Pull an RCU fix from Paul E. McKenney:

 "This series contains a single commit fixing an initialization bug
  reported by Amit Shah and fixed by Pranith Kumar (and tested by Amit).
  This bug results in a boot-time hang in callback-offloaded configurations
  where callbacks were posted before the offloading ('rcuo') kthreads
  were created."
