[PATCH,TRIVIAL] unused task_struct.shared_unblocked variable.

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

Hello.

The task_struct.shared_unblocked variable is unused.

The 'old_state' variable in try_to_wake_up() is unneeded.

The third recheck of rq->nr_running after load_balance()
in schedule() is unneeded. Compiler should optimize it,
but it looks slightly confusing (imho).

2.5.34 introduced this change in force_sig_info()

-	return send_sig_info(sig, info, t);
+	return send_sig_info(sig, (void *)1, t);

I beleive, it is wrong, info can carry useful information
from do_page_fault, traps. And this (info *)1 does not
prevent send_signal() from allocation of siginfo struct.
Ingo, could you please clarify?

Oleg.
