Thomas Gleixner 322f8b8b34 x86/smpboot: Remove stale TLB flush invocations
smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() and smpboot_restore_warm_reset_vector()
invoke local_flush_tlb() for no obvious reason.

Digging in history revealed that the original code in the 2.1 era added
those because the code manipulated a swapper_pg_dir pagetable entry. The
pagetable manipulation was removed long ago in the 2.3 timeframe, but the
TLB flush invocations stayed around forever.

Remove them along with the pointless pr_debug()s which come from the same 2.1
change.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
