rcu/nocb: Check for deferred nocb wakeups before nohz_full early exit
In theory, a timer is used to defer wakeups of no-CBs grace-period kthreads when the wakeup cannot be done safely directly from the call_rcu(). In practice, the one-jiffy delay is not always consistent with timely callback invocation under heavy call_rcu() loads. Therefore, there are a number of checks for a pending deferred wakeup, including from the scheduling-clock interrupt. Unfortunately, this check follows the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit, which renders it useless on such CPUs. This commit therefore moves the check for the pending deferred no-CB wakeup to precede the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
