Currently, If the 'rcu_nocb_poll' bootargs is enable, all rcuog kthreads
enter polling mode. however, due to only insert CPU's rdp which belong to
rcu_nocb_mask to 'nocb_head_rdp' list or all CPU's rdp served by rcuog
kthread have been de-offloaded, these cause the 'nocb_head_rdp' list
served by rcuog kthread is empty, when the 'nocb_head_rdp' is empty,
the rcuog kthread in polling mode not actually do anything. fix it by
exiting polling mode when the 'nocb_head_rdp'list is empty, otherwise
entering polling mode.

Looks promising! A couple of questions below.

Do we need to set rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep to true in here somewhere?

Is it the case that other than when (de-)offloading, the rcuog kthread
is never awakened when rcu_nocb_poll is set? If this is not the case,
we would have spurious wakeups. (I believe that rcu_nocb_poll suppresses
those wakeups, but it would be good to check.)

When rcu_nocb_poll is set, the rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep flags is not used.

When rcu_nocb_poll is set, only when (de-)offloading, actively call
wake_up_process(rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread). in other cases
the __call_rcu_nocb_wake() will wakeup nocb_gp_kthread, but it met rcu_nocb_poll flags
directly return.
In do_nocb_deferred_wakeup(), although there is no rcu_nocb_poll check, but
rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is always RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT, also directly return.
Due to rcu_nocb_poll is set, the rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep flags is not used, and
Not should be set. move rcu_nocb_poll from rdp_offload_toggle() to rcu_nocb_rdp_offload/deoffload()
