[ Upstream commit 9c39245382de4d52a122641952900709d4a9950b ]

On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs,
and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition. Unfortunately,
the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check,
which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead
only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the
grace period.

This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in
the post-wakeup "if" statement in rcu_gp_fqs_loop().

Fixes: 1fca4d12f4637 ("rcu: Expedite first two FQS scans under callback-overload conditions")
