At present, snp->srcu_have_cbs[idx] is updated by either srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_gp_end(). But as the code changes, now, srcu_funnel_gp_start() is called with srcu read lock held. And its input parameter s, s = rcu_seq_snap(&ssp->srcu_gp_seq), whose counter field always proceeds that of the srcu_gp_seq by one or two. If the seq snap only proceeds by one, the state machine should be in state SRCU_STATE_IDLE, the held srcu read lock will prevent the state machine from moving ahead. So when srcu_gp_end() updates snp->srcu_have_cbs[idx], the idx must be the past idx for srcu_funnel_gp_start() that is cared by nobody. So removing the unnecessary updating in srcu_gp_end().
