Would it simplify anything to make the CPU exit nohz_full first and
then exit rcu_nocb and vice versa in the other direction? That way the
assumption about nohz_full CPUs always being rcu_nocb could remain while
still allowing runtime changes to both states.
Of course, given that setup, it would not be possible to cause a CPU to
exit rcu_nocb state if it was still in nohz_full state.
My fear is that allowing a CPU to be in nohz_full state without also
being in rcu_nocb state will cause needless confusion and bug reports.
Thanx, Paul
