Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix RCU race in access of nohz_cpu_mask

Accessing nohz_cpu_mask before incrementing rcp->cur is racy.  It can cause
tickless idle CPUs to be included in rsp->cpumask, which will extend
graceperiods unnecessarily.

Fix this race.  It has been tested using extensions to RCU torture module
that forces various CPUs to become idle.
