Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix opposite might_sleep() check in rcu_blocking_is_gp()

Currently, if the system is in the RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE state, invoke
synchronize_rcu_*() will implies a grace period and return directly,
so there is no sleep action due to waiting for a grace period to end,
but this might_sleep() check is the opposite. therefore, this commit
puts might_sleep() check in the correct palce.
