Currently, when running the rcutorture testing, if the fqs_task kthread was created, the periodic fqs operations will be performed, regardless of whether the grace-period is ongoing. however, if there is no ongoing grace-period, invoke the rcu_force_quiescent_state() has no effect, because when the new grace-period starting, will clear all flags int rcu_state.gp_flags in rcu_gp_init(). this commit therefore add rcu_gp_in_progress() check in rcu_force_quiescent_state(), if there is no ongoing grace-period, return directly.
