rcu: Prevent needless ->gp_seq_needed update in __note_gp_changes() Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is greater than or equal to that of the rcu_data structure, and if so, updates the rcu_data structure's ->gp_seq_needed field. This results in a useless store in the case where the two fields are equal. This commit therefore carries out this store only in the case where the rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is strictly greater than that of the rcu_data structure.
