Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/27] rcu: Remove unused rcu_kick_nohz_cpu() function
Date
The rcu_kick_nohz_cpu() function is no longer used, and the functionality
it used to provide is now provided by a call to resched_cpu() in the
force-quiescent-state function rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(). This commit
therefore removes rcu_kick_nohz_cpu().
