rcu: Stop chasing QS if another CPU did it for us

When a CPU is idle and others CPUs handled its extended
quiescent state to complete grace periods on its behalf,
it will catch up with completed grace periods numbers
when it wakes up.

But at this point there might be no more grace period to
complete, but still the woken CPU always keeps its stale
qs_pending value and will then continue to chase quiescent
states even if its not needed anymore.

This results in clusters of spurious softirqs until a new
real grace period is started. Because if we continue to
chase quiescent states but we have completed every grace
periods, rcu_report_qs_rdp() is puzzled and makes that
state run into infinite loops.

As suggested by Lai Jiangshan, just reset qs_pending if
someone completed every grace periods on our behalf.
