[PATCH 3/9] Fix alloc_percpu's args

From: Matthew Dobson
Date: Thu Nov 10 2005 - 18:59:46 EST


alloc_percpu takes an 'align' argument that is completely ignored. Remove it.

-Matt
__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
completely ignored. snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to
use it, but it will be ignored. Therefore, remove the 'align' argument
and fixup the lone caller.

Also, remove an unnecessary cpu_possible check in the oom_unwind loop since
kfree() is happy to ignore NULL pointers passed to it.
