rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU hotplug

As noted earlier, the following sequence of events can occur when
running PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU on a system with a multi-level
rcu_node combining tree:

1.	A group of tasks block on CPUs corresponding to a given leaf
	rcu_node structure while within RCU read-side critical sections.
2.	All CPUs corrsponding to that rcu_node structure go offline.
3.	The next grace period starts, but because there are still tasks
	blocked, the upper-level bits corresponding to this leaf rcu_node
	structure remain set.
4.	All the tasks exit their RCU read-side critical sections and
	remove themselves from the leaf rcu_node structure's list,
	leaving it empty.
5.	But because there now is code to check for this condition at
	force-quiescent-state time, the upper bits are cleared and the
	grace period completes.

However, there is another complication that can occur following step 4 above:

4a.	The grace period starts, and the leaf rcu_node structure's
	gp_tasks pointer is set to NULL because there are no tasks
	blocked on this structure.
4b.	One of the CPUs corresponding to the leaf rcu_node structure
	comes back online.
4b.	An endless stream of tasks are preempted within RCU read-side
	critical sections on this CPU, such that the ->blkd_tasks
	list is always non-empty.

The grace period will never end.

This commit therefore makes the force-quiescent-state processing check only
for absence of tasks blocking the current grace period rather than absence
of tasks altogether.  This will cause a quiescent state to be reported if
the current leaf rcu_node structure is not blocking the current grace period
and its parent thinks that it is, regardless of how RCU managed to get
itself into this state.
