Zhen Lei b934b7ff5e rcu: Delete a redundant check in rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation()
The rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() function uses task_cpu() to sample
the last CPU that the grace-period kthread ran on, and task_cpu() samples
the thread_info structure's ->cpu field.  But this field will always
contain a number corresponding to a CPU that was online some time in
the past, thus never a negative number.  This invariant is checked by
a WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_task_cpu().

This means that if the grace-period kthread exists, that is, if the "gpk"
local variable is non-NULL, the "cpu" local variable will be non-negative.
This in turn means that the existing check for non-negative "cpu" is
redundant with the enclosing check for non-NULL "gpk".

This commit threefore removes the redundant check of "cpu".

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
