Merge branch 'rcu/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney.

Major changes:

" 1.	Update RCU documentation.  These were posted to LKML at
	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1566994.

  2.	Miscellaneous fixes.  These were posted to LKML at
	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1567027.

  3.	Grace-period-related changes, primarily to aid in debugging,
	inspired by a -rt debugging session.  These were posted to
	LKML at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1567076.

  4.	Idle entry/exit changes, primarily to address issues located
	by Tibor Billes.  These were posted to LKML at
	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1567096.

  5.	Code reorganization moving RCU's source files from kernel
	to kernel/rcu.  This was posted to LKML at
	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1577344."
