[PATCH v2 1/2] rcu: Delete a redundant check in rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation()

[Zhen Lei]

The kernel provides the only legal way, that is, function set_task_cpu(),
to dynamically change the value of task_cpu(p). And in which the validity
of the CPU ID is checked.
set_task_cpu():
	WARN_ON_ONCE(!cpu_online(new_cpu));
	__set_task_cpu(p, new_cpu);

Therefore, in normal cases, the value of task_cpu(gpk) is always valid.
Then for the following snippet in rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation():
	cpu = gpk ? task_cpu(gpk) : -1;
	if (gpk) {
		if (cpu >= 0) {

The above condition "if (gpk)" already ensures that gp_kthread is created,
so the local variable 'cpu' cannot be negative here.
