rcu/nocb: Remove deferred wakeup checks for extended quiescent states
The idea behind the checks for extended quiescent states at the end of __call_rcu_nocb() is to handle cases where call_rcu() is invoked directly from within an extended quiescent state, for example, from the idle loop. However, this will result in a timer-mediated deferred wakeup, which will cause the needed wakeup to happen within a jiffy or thereabouts. There should be no forward-progress concerns, and if there are, the proper response is to exit the extended quiescent state while executing the endless blast of call_rcu() invocations, for example, using RCU_NONIDLE(). Given the more realistic case of an isolated call_rcu() invocation, there should be no problem. This commit therefore removes the checks for invoking call_rcu() within an extended quiescent state for on no-CBs CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
