rcu: Make rcu_migrate_callbacks wake GP kthread when needed
The rcu_migrate_callbacks() function invokes rcu_advance_cbs() twice, ignoring the return value. This is OK at pressent because of failsafe code that does the wakeup when needed. However, this failsafe code acquires the root rcu_node structure's lock frequently, while rcu_migrate_callbacks() does so only once per CPU-offline operation. This commit therefore makes rcu_migrate_callbacks() wake up the RCU GP kthread when either call to rcu_advance_cbs() returns true, thus removing need for the failsafe code. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
