rcu/nocb: Never downgrade ->nocb_defer_wakeup in wake_nocb_gp_defer()
Currently, wake_nocb_gp_defer() simply stores whatever waketype was passed in, which can result in a RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE being downgraded to RCU_NOCB_WAKE, which could in turn delay callback processing. This commit therefore adds a check so that wake_nocb_gp_defer() only updates ->nocb_defer_wakeup when the update increases the forcefulness, thus avoiding downgrades. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
