RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is long gone. Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized on the long-gone CPU's callback lists. If any of these CPU-hotplug callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang. This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu(). Thus, RCU is able to advance these callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang. While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the other hand.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
