rcu_core() tries to ensure that its self-invocation in case of callbacks overload only happen in softirq/rcuc mode. Indeed it doesn't make sense to trigger local RCU core from nocb_cb kthread since it can execute on a CPU different from the target rdp. Also in case of overload, the nocb_cb kthread simply iterates a new loop of callbacks processing. However the "offloaded" check that aims at preventing misplaced rcu_core() invocations is wrong. First of all that state is volatile and second: softirq/rcuc can execute while the target rdp is offloaded. As a result rcu_core() can be invoked on the wrong CPU while in the process of (de-)offloading. Fix that with moving the rcu_core() self-invocation to rcu_core() itself, irrespective of the rdp offloaded state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
