Subject: rcu: Remove cond_resched() from Tiny synchronize_sched()
From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit f466ae66fa6a599f9a53b5f9bafea4b8cfffa7fb upstream.
It is now legal to invoke synchronize_sched() at early boot, which causes
Tiny RCU's synchronize_sched() to emit spurious splats. This commit
therefore removes the cond_resched() from Tiny RCU's synchronize_sched().
Fixes: 8b355e3bc140 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue")
