Currently, running rcutorture test with torture_type=rcu fwd_progress=8
n_barrier_cbs=8 nocbs_nthreads=8 nocbs_toggle=100 onoff_interval=60
test_boost=2, will trigger the following warning:

    // block on barrier_mutex
    // wait rcu_barrier() on
    // CPU3 to unlock barrier_mutex
    // but CPU3 unlock barrier_mutex
    // need to wait CPU1 comes online
    // when CPU1 going online will block on cpus_write_lock

The above scenario will not only trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(), but also
trigger a deadlock.

Thanks to nocb locking, a second racing rcu_barrier() on an offline CPU
will either observe the decremented callback counter down to 0 and spare
the callback enqueue, or rcuo will observe the new callback and keep
rdp->nocb_cb_sleep to false.

Therefore check rdp->nocb_cb_sleep before parking to make sure no
further rcu_barrier() is waiting on the rdp.
