rcu: Make expedited IPI handler return after handling critical section
During expedited RCU grace-period initialization, IPIs are sent to all non-idle online CPUs. The IPI handler checks to see if the CPU is in quiescent state, reporting one if so. This handler looks at three different cases: (1) The CPU is not in an rcu_read_lock()-based critical section, (2) The CPU is in the process of exiting an rcu_read_lock()-based critical section, and (3) The CPU is in an rcu_read_lock()-based critical section. In case (2), execution falls through into case (3). This is harmless from a functionality viewpoint, but can result in needless overhead during an improbable corner case. This commit therefore adds the "return" statement needed to prevent fall-through. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
