[PATCH] tile: remove #pragma unroll from finv_buffer_remote()
From: Chris Metcalf
Date: Tue Sep 06 2016 - 16:00:16 EST
This directive was put in the kernel source before the "pragma
unroll" support for tilegx gcc was upstreamed. Remove it for
now, and we can put it back later if/when the compiler support
is upstreamed. This avoids a warning when building the kernel.
This routine is not on a hot path in any case, so the extra
optimization here was mostly just for it's own sake.
