[PATCH 1/3] rcu: Remove unnecessary condition check in rcu_qsctr_help()

[Alexander Gordeev]

In cases ->curtail and ->donetail pointers differ ->rcucblist
always points to the beginning of the current list and thus
can not be NULL. Therefore, the check ->rcucblist != NULL is
redundant and could be removed.
