smp_rendezvous_action.patch

I'm studying `smp_rendezvous` code now.
It's a cool feature in the kernel and surprising how long history it has.

It seems that arguments of `smp_rendezvous_action` is loaded in local variables
as soon as `smp_rendezvous_action` takes a barrier.
And the code design seems to use local variables in the barrier.

But I think only two lines violate to the design policy
and should be fixed as attached `smp_rendezvous_action.patch`.

I believe there is no issues about this.
`smp_rendezvous` works fine for a long time.

I think local variable access is a little bit faster than global variable
access.
Because the global variables are defined as `volatile`.
