[ Upstream commit 94ad2e3cedb82af034f6d97c58022f162b669f9b ] If jiffies are up to date already (caller lost the race against another CPU) there is no point to change the sequence count. Doing that just forces other CPUs into the seqcount retry loop in tick_nohz_next_event() for nothing. Just bail out early.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
