[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 11/28] rcu: Omit self-awaken when setting up expedited grace period

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When setting up an expedited grace period, if there were no readers, the
task will awaken itself.  This commit removes this useless self-awakening.
