With __note_gp_changes() now clearing defer_qs_pending at every per-CPU GP advance, the per-irqrestore clear is redundant. Remove it.
Effect: PENDING now stays set from arming until the next per-CPU GP advance, future arming attempts on the same CPU within the same GP are gated by the rcu_read_unlock_special(). This serves both as an optimization (should not need new irq_work again this GP - for the compounded section case, we detect and clear it there), and reduces risks of recursion due to clearing too aggressively.
