Currently, __call_rcu_nocb_wake() advances callbacks each time that it detects excessive numbers of callbacks, though only if it succeeds in conditionally acquiring its leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Despite the conditional acquisition of ->lock, this does increase contention. This commit therefore avoids advancing callbacks unless there are callbacks in ->cblist whose grace period has completed and advancing has not yet been done during this jiffy. Note that this decision does not take the presence of new callbacks into account. That is because on this code path, there will always be at least one new callback, namely the one we just enqueued.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
