When softirq actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the entry
in the softirq_vec table containing the action's function pointer. This
pointer isn't very useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific softirq, the
callback also knows which softirq number is running.
No softirq action callbacks actually use this parameter, so remove it
from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that softirq actions
are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.
