rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() deferred wakeups
In !use_softirq runs, we clearly cannot rely on raise_softirq() and its lightweight bit setting, so we must instead do some form of wakeup. In the absence of a self-IPI when interrupts are disabled, these wakeups can be delayed until the next interrupt occurs. This means that calling invoke_rcu_core() doesn't actually do any expediting. In this case, it is better to take the "else" clause, which sets the current CPU's resched bits and, if there is an expedited grace period in flight, uses IRQ-work to force the needed self-IPI. This commit therefore removes the "else if" clause that calls invoke_rcu_core(). Reported-by: Scott Wood <swood@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
