From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@xxxxxxxxx> commit 3c5d61ae919cc377c71118ccc76fa6e8518023f8 upstream. Improve readability of kvfree_rcu_queue_batch() function in away that, after a first batch queuing, the loop is break and success value is returned to a caller. There is no reason to loop and check batches further as all outstanding objects have already been picked and attached to a certain batch to complete an offloading.
