Subject: x86/irq: Remove the cpumask allocation from send_cleanup_vector()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 5da0c1217f05d2ccc9a8ed6e6e5c23a8a1d24dd6 upstream.

There is no need to allocate a new cpumask for sending the cleanup vector. The
old_domain mask is now protected by the vector_lock, so we can safely remove
the offline cpus from it and send the IPI with the resulting mask.
