Re: [PATCH v2 01/19] arm64: remove redundant local_daif_mask() in bad_mode()

Upon taking an exception, the CPU sets all the DAIF bits. We never
clear any of these bits prior to calling bad_mode(), and bad_mode()
itself never clears any of these bits, so there's no need to call
local_daif_mask().

This patch removes the redundant call.
