OK, I will test it.

Sorry, If I had written pseudocode in the commit log, it would have been clear, as below:

-----------------before-----------------
        bool need_rcu_nocb_mask = false;

#if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL)
        if (tick_nohz_full_running && !cpumask_empty(tick_nohz_full_mask))
                need_rcu_nocb_mask = true;      <----	//Move it here, then delete all 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' related code
#endif /* #if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) */          |
                                                     |
        if (need_rcu_nocb_mask) {                    |  //Can only be true above
                ...                             -----
        }

-----------------after-----------------
#if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL)
        if (tick_nohz_full_running && !cpumask_empty(tick_nohz_full_mask)) {
                ...
	}
#endif /* #if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) */

I'm doing clean up on the premise that the original code is correct.
