nohz: Remove nohz_cpu_mask
RCU no longer uses this global variable, nor does anyone else. This commit therefore removes this variable. This reduces memory footprint and also removes some atomic instructions and memory barriers from the dyntick-idle path. Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
