rcu: Avoid spurious RCU CPU stall warnings
If a given CPU avoids the idle loop but also avoids starting a new RCU grace period for a full minute, RCU can issue spurious RCU CPU stall warnings. This commit fixes this issue by adding a check for ongoing grace period to avoid these spurious stall warnings. Reported-by: Becky Bruce <bgillbruce@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
