[linux-yocto] [PATCH 1/2] rcu: Make expedited RCU-sched grace period immediately detect idle

[Nilesh Bacchewar]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Backport: commit 28728dd310d48834cd486dac3cac9ae96b9deb96 upstream.

Currently, sync_sched_exp_handler() will force a reschedule unless
this CPU has already checked in or unless a reschedule has already
been called for.  This is clearly wasteful if sync_sched_exp_handler()
interrupted an idle CPU, so this commit immediately reports the
quiescent state in that case.
