Good point, there is a !PREEMPT definition of the function
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero.
And if !PREEMPT kernels, the same things happens in the "if"
body as after it, so behavior is not changed.
I have queued and pushed this with an upgraded commit log as
shown below.
Thanx, Paul

commit a4600389c35010aef414b89e2817d4a527e751b5

rcu/tree: Remove CONFIG_PREMPT_RCU check in force_qs_rnp()
Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9af ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug"). However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe. In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.
This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().
