For the issue I brought up, yes. But now I have to ask...

Why not test !t first? As that is the fastest operation in the if
statement, and will shortcut all the other operations if it is true.

As I like to micro-optimize ;-), for or (||) statements, I like to add
the fastest operations first. To me, that would be:

	if (!t || READ_ONCE(rcu_state.gp_flags) ||
	    (current == t && !in_irq() && !in_serving_softirq()))
		return;

Note, in_irq() reads preempt_count which is not always a fast operation.
