Hi folks,

this is v2 of:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210721115118.729943-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com/

respun from Frederic and Paul's helpful feedback. Tested atop v5.14-rc4-rt6 with
the v1 patches reverted. There, commit 

  d76e0926d835 ("rcu/nocb: Use the rcuog CPU's ->nocb_timer")

prevents the NOCB offload warning from firing if there are no NOCB CPUs (which
is sensible). Adding a single NOCB CPU brings the warning back, which patch 3
fixes.

Note that patches 2 & 4 are already in v5.14-rc4-rt6, but still apply against
mainline.
