To re-offload the callback processing off of a CPU, it is necessary to
clear SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY, set SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED, and then notify
both the CB and GP kthreads so that they both set their own bit flag and
start processing the callbacks remotely. The re-offloading worker is
then notified that it can stop the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or rcuc kthread,
as the case may be) from processing the callbacks locally.
Ordering must be carefully enforced so that the callbacks that used to be
processed locally without locking will have the same ordering properties
when they are invoked by the nocb CB and GP kthreads.
This commit makes this change.
