No need for the list and csd variables here as they are only used
once.

But I think this code has a rpboem when it is preemptd between
the llist_add and smp_call_function_single_async.  We either need a
get_cpu/put_cpu around them, or instroduce a structure with the list
and csd, and then you can use one pointer from per_cpu and still ensure
the list and csd are for the same CPU.
