rcu: Simplify unboosting checks
This is a port of commit #82e78d80 from TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This commit uses the fact that current->rcu_boost_mutex is set any time that the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This allows tests of the bit to be changed to tests of the pointer, which in turn allows the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag to be eliminated. Please note that the check of current->rcu_read_unlock_special need not change because any time that RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED was set, so was RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED. Therefore, __rcu_read_unlock() can continue testing current->rcu_read_unlock_special for non-zero, as before. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
