Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/14] rcu: Don't scan root rcu_node structure for stalled tasks

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Now that blocked tasks are no longer migrated to the root rcu_node
structure, there is no need to scan the root rcu_node structure for
blocked tasks stalling the current grace period.  This commit therefore
removes this scan.
