rcu: Expedite first two FQS scans under callback-overload conditions
Even if some CPUs have excessive numbers of callbacks, RCU's grace-period kthread will still wait normally between successive force-quiescent-state scans. The first two are the most important, as they are the ones that enlist aid from the scheduler when overloaded. This commit therefore omits the wait before the first and the second force-quiescent-state scan under callback-overload conditions. This approach was inspired by a discussion with Jeff Roberson.
