rcu/nocb: Avoid confusing double write of rdp->nocb_cb_sleep
The nocb_cb_wait() function first sets the rdp->nocb_cb_sleep flag to true by after invoking the callbacks, and then sets it back to false if it finds more callbacks that are ready to invoke. This is confusing and will become unsafe if this flag is ever read locklessly. This commit therefore writes it only once, based on the state after both callback invocation and checking.
