Queued (wordsmithed as shown below, as always, please check) for further
testing and review, thank you both!

rcu: Remove never-set needwake assignment from rcu_report_qs_rdp()
The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp()
only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked
by at least one CPU on this rcu_node structure. This means that
rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that
this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never
invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation
of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs(). The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to
detect situations where the system's opinion differs from ours.
