In kernels built with either CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, additional CPUs must be added to rcu_nocb_mask. Except that kernels booted without the rcu_nocbs= will not have allocated rcu_nocb_mask. And the current rcu_init_nohz() function uses its need_rcu_nocb_mask and offload_all local variables to track the rcu_nocb and nohz_full state. But there is a much simpler approach, namely creating a cpumask pointer to track the default and then using cpumask_available() to check the rcu_nocb_mask state. This commit takes this approach, thereby simplifying and shortening the rcu_init_nohz() function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
