Subject: [PATCH 0/3] smp/ipi: Minor cleanups in smp_call_function variants

This patchset removes possible stale code overlooked by previous
cleanups. It also clarifies ambiguous comments about deadlock scenarios
while calling smp_call_function variants, as they were not obvious at a first
glance.

      smp/ipi: Remove redundant cfd->cpumask_ipi mask
      smp/ipi:Clarify ambiguous comments around deadlock scenarios in smp_call_function variants.
      smp/ipi:Remove check around csd lock in handler for smp_call_function variants
