rcu: Call wake_nocb_leader_defer() with 'FORCE' when nocb_q_count is high
If an excessive number of callbacks have been queued, but the NOCB
leader kthread's wakeup must be deferred, then we should wake up the
leader unconditionally once it is safe to do so.
This was handled correctly in commit fbce7497ee ("rcu: Parallelize and
economize NOCB kthread wakeups"), but then commit 8be6e1b15c ("rcu:
Use timer as backstop for NOCB deferred wakeups") passed RCU_NOCB_WAKE
instead of the correct RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE to wake_nocb_leader_defer().
As an interesting aside, RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE is never passed to anything,
which should have been taken as a hint. ;-)
This commit therefore passes RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE instead of RCU_NOCB_WAKE
to wake_nocb_leader_defer() when a callback is queued onto a NOCB CPU
that already has an excessive number of callbacks pending.
