Subject: [PATCH] rcu/tree: Fix self wakeups for grace period kthread

Update the code to match the comment that self wakeup of
grace period kthread is allowed from interrupt handler, and
softirq handler, running in the grace period kthread's
context. Present code allows self wakeups from all
interrupt contexts - nmi, softirq and hardirq contexts.
