[PATCH 10/16] rcu: Check for RCU_FLAG_GP_INIT bit in gp_flags for spurious wakeup

[Pranith Kumar]

rcu_gp_init() is called once the gp_kthread wakes up on the condition that
the init bit is set in the gp_flags. For a spurious wakeup we need to check that
it is actually set. This commit ensures that the RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT bit is set in
gp_flags.
