Subject: arm64: cpufeature: Don't dump useless backtrace on CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC
Git-commit: 3fde2999fac549024a56353966844ac7633b74ae
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: fate#325862
Unfortunately, it turns out that mismatched CPU features in big.LITTLE
systems are starting to appear in the wild. Whilst we should continue to
taint the kernel with CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC for features that differ in ways
that we can't fix up, dumping a useless backtrace out of the cpufeature
code is pointless and irritating.
This patch removes the backtrace from the taint.
