The context-switch-time check for RCU Tasks Trace quiescence expects current->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs to be zero, and if so, updates it to TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED. This is backwards, because if this value is zero, there is no RCU Tasks Trace grace period in flight, an thus no need for a quiescent state. Instead, when a grace period starts, this field is set to TRC_NEED_QS. This commit therefore changes the check from zero to TRC_NEED_QS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
