call_single_data is always locked by all callers of arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() or arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask() which results in execution of generic_call_function_interrupt() handler.
Hence remove the check for lock on csd in generic_call_function_interrupt() handler, before unlocking it.
