[PATCH tip/core/rcu 28/40] rcu: Make simple callback acceleration refer to rdp->gp_seq_needed

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 20:10:33 EST


Now that the rcu_data structure contains ->gp_seq_needed, create an
rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked() helper function that locklessly checks to
see if new callbacks' required grace period has already been requested.
If so, update the callback list locally and again locklessly. (Though
interrupts must be and are disabled to avoid racing with conflicting
updates in interrupt handlers.)

Otherwise, call rcu_accelerate_cbs() as before.
