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".
