When the bypass cblist gets too big or its timeout has occurred, it is flushed into the main cblist. However, the bypass timer is still running and the behavior is that it would eventually expire and wake the GP thread. Since we are going to use the bypass cblist for lazy CBs, do the wakeup soon as the flush for "too big or too long" bypass list happens. Otherwise, long delays can happen for callbacks which get promoted from lazy to non-lazy. This is a good thing to do anyway (regardless of future lazy patches), since it makes the behavior consistent with behavior of other code paths where flushing into the ->cblist makes the GP kthread into a non-sleeping state quickly.

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.
