rcu/nocb: Remove rcu_node structure from nocb list when de-offloaded
The nocb_gp_wait() function iterates over all CPUs in its group, including even those CPUs that have been de-offloaded. This is of course suboptimal, especially if none of the CPUs within the group are currently offloaded. This will become even more of a problem once a nocb kthread is created for all possible CPUs. Therefore use a standard double linked list to link all the offloaded rcu_data structures and safely add or delete these structure as we offload or de-offload them, respectively.
