Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/10] rcu/nocb: Directly call __wake_nocb_gp() from bypass timer

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@...nel.org>

The bypass timer calls __call_rcu_nocb_wake() instead of directly
calling __wake_nocb_gp().  The only difference here is that
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check gets overriden.  But resetting the deferred
force quiescent state base shouldn't be relevant for that timer.  In fact
the bypass queue in question can be for any rdp from the group and not
necessarily the rdp leader on which the bypass timer is attached.

This commit therefore calls __wake_nocb_gp() directly.  This way we
don't even need to lock the ->nocb_lock.
