Subject: [PATCH] srcu: Make srcu_might_be_idle() take early return if rcu_gp_is_normal() return true

When invoke synchronize_srcu(), in the srcu_might_be_idle(), the current
CPU's sdp->lock will be acquired to check whether there are pending
callbacks in the sdp->srcu_cblist, if there are no pending callbacks,
probabilistically probe global state to decide whether to convert to
synchronize_srcu_expedited() call. however, for the rcupdate.rcu_normal=1
kernels and after the rcu_set_runtime_mode() is called, invoke the
rcu_gp_is_normal() is always return true, this mean that invoke the
synchronize_srcu_expedited() always fall back to synchronize_srcu(),
so there is no need to acquire sdp->lock to check sdp->srcu_cblist and
probe global state in srcu_might_be_idle().

This commit therefore make srcu_might_be_idle() return immediately if the
rcu_gp_is_normal() return true.
