    entry/rcu: Check TIF_RESCHED _after_ delayed RCU wake-up
    
    [ Upstream commit b416514054810cf2d2cc348ae477cea619b64da7 ]
    
    RCU sometimes needs to perform a delayed wake up for specific kthreads
    handling offloaded callbacks (RCU_NOCB).  These wakeups are performed
    by timers and upon entry to idle (also to guest and to user on nohz_full).
    
    However the delayed wake-up on kernel exit is actually performed after
    the thread flags are fetched towards the fast path check for work to
    do on exit to user. As a result, and if there is no other pending work
    to do upon that kernel exit, the current task will resume to userspace
    with TIF_RESCHED set and the pending wake up ignored.
    
    Fix this with fetching the thread flags _after_ the delayed RCU-nocb
    kthread wake-up.
