[PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/5] rcu: Make rcu_gp_cleanup() write only once to ->gp_flags

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 19:02:48 EST


At the end of rcu_gp_cleanup(), if another grace period is needed, but
not via rcu_accelerate_cbs(), the ->gp_flags field is written twice,
once when making the new grace-period request, and once when clearing
all other types of requests. This commit therefore adds an else-clause
to avoid this double write.
