rcu/nocb: Don't deoffload an offline CPU with pending work
Offloaded CPUs do not migrate their callbacks, instead relying on their rcuo kthread to invoke them. But if the CPU is offline, it will be running neither its RCU_SOFTIRQ handler nor its rcuc kthread. This means that de-offloading an offline CPU that still has pending callbacks will strand those callbacks. This commit therefore refuses to toggle offline CPUs having pending callbacks.
