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:

1.	Changes to rcutorture and to RCU documentation. Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/188.

2.	Enhancements to uniprocessor handling in tiny RCU. Posted to LKML
        at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/27/2.

3.	Tag RCU callbacks with grace-period number to simplify callback
        advancement. Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/203.

4.	Miscellaneous fixes. Posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/26/204.
