rcu_scheduler_fully_active is set to true early in the boot process. rcu_prepare_kthreads() is called in two locations. Once after setting the above flag and the other while hotplugging a CPU from rcu_cpu_notify(). CPU hotplug is enabled much later by which time the above flag is already set. Hence checking for this flag is redundant in this function.
The checks in rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread() and rcu_spawn_all_nocb_kthreads() are similarly redundant. This commit removes the redundant checks for this flag from the above locations.
