The rcu_migrate_callbacks() function invokes rcu_advance_cbs() twice, ignoring the return value. This is OK at pressent because of failsafe code that does the wakeup when needed. However, this failsafe code acquires the root rcu_node structure's lock frequently, while rcu_migrate_callbacks() does so only once per CPU-offline operation. This commit therefore makes rcu_migrate_callbacks() wake up the RCU GP kthread when either call to rcu_advance_cbs() returns true, thus removing need for the failsafe code. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
