McKenney" Because quiescent states are now reported from offline CPUs in CPU_DYING state, there is some possibility that such a CPU might note the end of a grace period and attempt to start invoking callbacks. This would be a very bad thing, and is supposed to be prevented by the fact that the CPU_DYING CPU gets rid of all its callbacks before reporting the quiescent state. However, there is other CPU-offline code in the kernel, and it is quite possible that someone will invoke RCU core processing from that code. Therefore, this commit adds a warning for this case.
