[PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/22] rcu: Prevent useless FQS scan after all CPUs have checked in

[Paul E. McKenney]

The force_qs_rnp() function checks for ->qsmask being all zero, that is,
all CPUs for the current rcu_node structure having already passed through
quiescent states.  But with RCU-preempt, this is not sufficient to report
quiescent states further up the tree, so there are further checks that
can initiate RCU priority boosting and also for races with CPU-hotplug
operations.  However, if neither of these further checks apply, the code
proceeds to carry out a useless scan of an all-zero ->qsmask.

This commit therefore adds code to release the current rcu_node
structure's lock and continue on to the next rcu_node structure, thereby
avoiding this useless scan.
