[PATCH] smp: remove cpumask_ipi

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Sat Dec 14 2013 - 08:46:46 EST


After commit 9a46ad6 (smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic
similar to smp_call_function_single()), cfd->cpumask is accessed only
in smp_call_function_many(). So there is no more need to copy it
into cfd->cpumask_ipi before putting csd into the list.
The cpumask_ipi field is obsolete and can be removed.
