rcu: Make rcu_tasks_kthread()'s GP-wait loop allow preemption
The grace-period-wait loop in rcu_tasks_kthread() is under (unnecessary) RCU protection, and therefore has no preemption points in a PREEMPT=n kernel. This commit therefore removes the RCU protection and inserts cond_resched(). Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
