rcu: Make force_quiescent_state() start grace period if needed
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. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
