tick/rcu: Fix false positive "softirq work is pending" messages
[ Upstream commit 96c1fa04f089a7e977a44e4e8fdc92e81be20bef ] In commit 0345691b24c0 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer. In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional: if (a && b && c) warn(); to a three conditional: if (!a) return; if (!b) return; if (!c) return; warn(); But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was: !local_bh_blocked() but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as: if (!local_bh_blocked()) return false; This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added in commit a7e282c77785 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition"). This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued. Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4 preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot: NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!! Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to bring the correct behaviour back.
