"mask_ofl_ipi" is used for iterate CPUs which IPIs are needed to send to, however in the IPI sending loop, "mask_ofl_ipi" along with another variable "mask_ofl_test" might also get modified to record which CPU's quiesent state can be reported by sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). Two variables seems to be redundant for such a propose, so this patch clean things a little by solely using "mask_ofl_test" for recording and "mask_ofl_ipi" for iteration. This would improve the readibility of the IPI sending loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus().
