[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/10] rcu/nocb: Reduce contention at no-CBs invocation-done time

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>]

Currently, nocb_cb_wait() unconditionally acquires the leaf rcu_node
->lock to advance callbacks when done invoking the previous batch.
It does this while holding ->nocb_lock, which means that contention on
the leaf rcu_node ->lock visits itself on the ->nocb_lock.  This commit
therefore makes this lock acquisition conditional, forgoing callback
advancement when the leaf rcu_node ->lock is not immediately available.
(In this case, the no-CBs grace-period kthread will eventually do any
needed callback advancement.)
