Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/9] rcu: Fix up pending cbs check in rcu_prepare_for_idle

From: Neeraj Upadhyay <neeraju@...eaurora.org>

The pending-callbacks check in rcu_prepare_for_idle() is backwards.
It should accelerate if there are pending callbacks, but the check
rather uselessly accelerates only if there are no callbacks.  This commit
therefore inverts this check.

Fixes: 15fecf89e46a ("srcu: Abstract multi-tail callback list handling")
