When under overload conditions, __call_rcu_nocb_wake() will wake the no-CBs GP kthread any time the no-CBs CB kthread is asleep or there are no ready-to-invoke callbacks, but only after a timer delay. If the no-CBs GP kthread has a ->nocb_bypass_timer pending, the deferred wakeup from __call_rcu_nocb_wake() is redundant. This commit therefore makes __call_rcu_nocb_wake() avoid posting the redundant deferred wakeup if ->nocb_bypass_timer is pending. This requires adding a bit of ordering of timer actions.
