    rcu: Make force_quiescent_state() start grace period if needed · 46a1e34e

    Grace periods cannot be started while force_quiescent_state() is
    active.  This is OK in that the affected CPUs will try again
    later, but it does induce needless grace-period delays.  This
    patch causes rcu_start_gp() to record a failed attempt to start
    a grace period. When force_quiescent_state() prepares to return,
    it then starts the grace period if there was such a failed
    attempt.
