tick/rcu: Fix false positive "softirq work is pending" messages
In commit 0345691b24c0 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.
In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:
if (a && b && c)
warn();
to a three conditional:
if (!a)
return;
if (!b)
return;
if (!c)
return;
warn();
But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:
!local_bh_blocked()
but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:
if (!local_bh_blocked())
return false;
This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c77785 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.
Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.
