From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]> Because offline CPUs are propagated up the rcu_node tree's ->qsmaskinit bits just before each grace period starts, the ->qsmaskinit bit cannot be clear when the corresponding ->qsmask bit is set. Furthermore, this condition used to correspond to a CPU that was on its way offline, and making RCU's notion of an offline CPU more precise has eliminated this situation. This commit therefore removes the now-redundant offline check from force_qs_rnp().
