Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - updates to the handling of expedited grace periods

 - updates to reduce lock contention in the rcu_node combining tree

   [ These are in preparation for the consolidation of RCU-bh,
     RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched into a single flavor, which was
     requested by Linus in response to a security flaw whose root cause
     included confusion between the multiple flavors of RCU ]

 - torture-test updates that save their users some time and effort

 - miscellaneous fixes
