rcu: Avoid unnecessary self-wakeup of per-CPU kthreads
There are a number of cases where the RCU can find additional work for the per-CPU kthread within the context of that per-CPU kthread. In such cases, the per-CPU kthread is already running, so attempting to wake itself up does nothing except waste CPU cycles. This commit therefore checks to see if it is in the per-CPU kthread context, omitting the wakeup in this case. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
