Boqun Feng 35a2897c2a sched/wait: Remove the lockless swait_active() check in swake_up*()
Steven Rostedt reported a potential race in RCU core because of
swake_up():

        CPU0                            CPU1
        ----                            ----
                                __call_rcu_core() {

                                 spin_lock(rnp_root)
                                 need_wake = __rcu_start_gp() {
                                  rcu_start_gp_advanced() {
                                   gp_flags = FLAG_INIT
                                  }
                                 }

 rcu_gp_kthread() {
   swait_event_interruptible(wq,
        gp_flags & FLAG_INIT) {
   spin_lock(q->lock)

                                *fetch wq->task_list here! *

   list_add(wq->task_list, q->task_list)
   spin_unlock(q->lock);

   *fetch old value of gp_flags here *

                                 spin_unlock(rnp_root)

                                 rcu_gp_kthread_wake() {
                                  swake_up(wq) {
                                   swait_active(wq) {
                                    list_empty(wq->task_list)

                                   } * return false *

  if (condition) * false *
    schedule();

In this case, a wakeup is missed, which could cause the rcu_gp_kthread
waits for a long time.

The reason of this is that we do a lockless swait_active() check in
swake_up(). To fix this, we can either 1) add a smp_mb() in swake_up()
before swait_active() to provide the proper order or 2) simply remove
the swait_active() in swake_up().

The solution 2 not only fixes this problem but also keeps the swait and
wait API as close as possible, as wake_up() doesn't provide a full
barrier and doesn't do a lockless check of the wait queue either.
Moreover, there are users already using swait_active() to do their quick
checks for the wait queues, so it make less sense that swake_up() and
swake_up_all() do this on their own.

This patch then removes the lockless swait_active() check in swake_up()
and swake_up_all().
