Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 06/18] rcu: eliminate second argument of rcu_process_dyntick()

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Proposed for 2.6.34, not for inclusion.

At this point, the second argument to all calls to rcu_process_dyntick()
is a function of the same field of the structure passed in as the first
argument, namely, rsp->gpnum-1.  So propagate rsp->gpnum-1 to all uses
of the second argument within rcu_process_dyntick() and then eliminate
the second argument.
