The "mask_ofl_ipi" is used to track which CPUs get IPIed, however in the IPI sending loop, "mask_ofl_ipi" along with another variable "mask_ofl_test" might also get modified to record which CPUs' quiesent states must be reported by the sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() at the end of sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). This overlap of roles can be confusing, so this patch cleans things a little by using "mask_ofl_ipi" solely for determining which CPUs must be IPIed and "mask_ofl_test" for solely determining on behalf of which CPUs sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() must report a quiscent state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
