commit 614ddad17f22a22e035e2ea37a04815f50362017 upstream.
Currently, rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() checks that a grace period is in progress, however, that grace period could end just after the check. This commit rechecks that a grace period is still in progress while holding the rcu_node structure's lock. The grace period cannot end while the current CPU's rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, thus avoiding false positives from the WARN_ON_ONCE().
As Daniel Vacek noted, it is not necessary for the rcu_node structure to have a CPU that has not yet passed through its quiescent state.
