The old grace-period start code would acquire only the leaf's rcu_node structure's ->lock if that structure believed that a grace period was in progress. The new code advances to the leaf's parent in this case, needlessly acquiring then leaf's parent's ->lock. This commit therefore checks the grace-period state after marking the leaf with the need for the specified grace period, and if the leaf believes that a grace period is in progress, takes an early exit.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
