rcu: Make rcu_nocb_wait_gp() check if GP already requested
This commit makes rcu_nocb_wait_gp() check rdp->gp_seq_needed to see if the current CPU already knows about the needed grace period having already been requested. If so, it avoids acquiring the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, thus decreasing contention. This optimization is intended for cases where either multiple leader rcuo kthreads are running on the same CPU or these kthreads are running on a non-offloaded (e.g., housekeeping) CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [ paulmck: Move lock release past "if" as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ] [ paulmck: Fix caching of furthest-future requested grace period. ]
