Subject[patch 2/3] 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 aera 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_debugs which come from the same 2.1
change.
