That "REMOVE_TABLE_IPI_MASK" thing is pretty confusing.  It *looks* like
a constant.  It does *NOT* look at all like it consumes 'mm'.  Worst
case, just create a local variable:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPUMASK_BITS))
		ipi_mask = mm_cpumask(mm);
	else
		ipi_mask = cpu_online_mask;

	on_each_cpu_mask(ipi_mask, ...);

That's a billion times more clear and it'll compile down to the same thing.

I do think the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPUMASK_BITS naming is also pretty
confusing, but I don't have any better suggestions.  Maybe something
with "MM_CPUMASK" in it?
