[PATCH] smp: kill unnecessary variable - csd_flags

[Xie XiuQi]

We used csd_flags formerly because we allocated csd_data by
kmalloc when "wait == 0". When fail to allocation, we will
fall back to on-stack allocation. "csd_data" might be invalid
after generic_exec_single return.

But now we use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls, and
csd_data can't fall back to on-stack allocation when "wait == 0".

So csd_flags is unnecessary now. Remove it.
