Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 18/30] rcu: Remove dead code from rcu_segcblist_insert_pend_cbs()
Date:   Fri, 14 Feb 2020 15:55:55 -0800
Message-Id: <20200214235607.13749-18-paulmck@kernel.org>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

The rcu_segcblist_insert_pend_cbs() function currently (partially)
initializes the rcu_cblist that it pulls callbacks from.  However, all
the resulting stores are dead because all callers pass in the address of
an on-stack cblist that is not used afterwards.  This commit therefore
removes this pointless initialization.
