From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, nocb_gp_wait() unconditionally complains if there is a
callback not already associated with a grace period. This assumes that
either there was no such callback initially on the one hand, or that
the rcu_advance_cbs() function assigned all such callbacks to a grace
period on the other. However, in theory there are some situations that
would prevent rcu_advance_cbs() from assigning all of the callbacks.
This commit therefore checks for unassociated callbacks immediately after
rcu_advance_cbs() returns, while the corresponding rcu_node structure's
->lock is still held. If there are unassociated callbacks at that point,
the subsequent WARN_ON_ONCE() is disabled.
