rcu: Prevent early boot set_need_resched() from __rcu_pending()
There isn't a whole lot of point in poking the scheduler before there are other tasks to switch to. This commit therefore adds a check for rcu_scheduler_fully_active in __rcu_pending() to suppress any pre-scheduler calls to set_need_resched(). The downside of this approach is additional runtime overhead in a reasonably hot code path. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
