The purpose of rcu_needs_cpu_flush() was to iterate on pushing the current grace period in order to help the current CPU enter dyntick-idle mode. However, this can result in failures if the CPU starts entering dyntick-idle mode, but then backs out. In this case, the call to rcu_pending() from rcu_needs_cpu_flush() might end up announcing a non-existing quiescent state. This commit therefore removes rcu_needs_cpu_flush() in favor of letting the dyntick-idle machinery at the end of the softirq handler push the loop along via its call to rcu_pending().
