rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() supply RCU-sched expedited QS
Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() supplies quiescent states to all flavors of normal RCU grace periods, it does nothing for expedited RCU-sched grace periods. This commit therefore adds a check for a need for a quiescent state from the current CPU by an expedited RCU-sched grace period, and invokes rcu_sched_qs() to supply that quiescent state if so. Note that the check is racy in that we might be migrated to some other CPU just after checking the per-CPU variable. This is OK because the act of migration will do a context switch, which will supply the needed quiescent state. The only downside is that we might do an unnecessary call to rcu_sched_qs(), but the probability is low and the overhead is small. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
