[PATCH tip/core/rcu 20/21] rcu: Drop early GP request check from rcu_gp_kthread()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Apr 22 2018 - 23:03:44 EST


Now that grace-period requests use funnel locking and now that they
set ->gp_flags to RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT even when the RCU grace-period
kthread has not yet started, rcu_gp_kthread() no longer needs to check
need_any_future_gp() at startup time. This commit therefore removes
this check.
