[ Upstream commit 147f04b14adde831eb4a0a1e378667429732f9e8 ]

If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop, RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call to tick_dep_set_cpu(). For this to happen, that CPU has to have been online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase.

This is pointless: The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot take a scheduling-clock tick anyway. In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu() function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows:

This commit therefore avoids invoking tick_dep_set_cpu() on offlined CPUs to limit both futility and false-positive splats.
