[RFC PATCH 08/12] rcu: Flush bypass before setting SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 08:44:26 EST


Make sure to handle the pending bypass queue before we switch to the
final de-offload state. We'll have to be careful and later set
SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY before re-enabling again IRQs, or new bypass
callbacks could be queued in the meantine.
