[RFC PATCH 2/9] ia64: avoid using on_each_cpu hard coded ret value

From: Gilad Ben-Yossef
Date: Tue Jan 03 2012 - 09:21:49 EST


on_each_cpu always returns a hard coded return code of zero.

Removing all tests based on this return value saves run time
cycles for compares and code bloat for branches.
