[PATCH] RCU: Remove have_rcu_nocb_mask from tree_plugin.h

From: Rakib Mullick
Date: Fri Nov 17 2017 - 10:40:46 EST


Currently have_rcu_nocb_mask is used to avoid double allocation of
rcu_nocb_mask during boot up. Due to different representation of
cpumask_var_t on different kernel config CPUMASK=y(or n) it was okay.
But now we have a helper cpumask_available(), which can be utilized
to check whether rcu_nocb_mask has been allocated or not without using
a variable.

Removing the variable also reduces vmlinux size.

Unpatched version:
text data bss dec hex filename
13050393 7852470 14543408 35446271 21cddff vmlinux

Patched version:
