Subject: genirq: Remove cpumask availability check on kthread affinity setting
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3de5e46e50abc01a1cee7e12b657e083fc5ed638;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

genirq: Remove cpumask availability check on kthread affinity setting

Failing to allocate the affinity mask of an interrupt descriptor fails the
whole descriptor initialization. It is then guaranteed that the cpumask is
always available whenever the related interrupt objects are alive, such as
the kthread handler.

Therefore remove the superfluous check since it is merely a historical
leftover. Get rid also of the comments above it that are obsolete and
useless.
