sched_can_stop_tick() was using 7 spaces instead of 8 spaces or a 'tab' at the beginning of each line. Which doesn't align with the Coding Guidelines.
Also it removes the *rq variable as it was used at only one place and hence we can directly use this_rq() instead.

I don't think rq = tihs_rq() has to be done before smp_mb(), in case yes sorry for this patch :(

AFAICT the smp_rmb() is entirely spurious, arch interrupts should ensure consistency on their own. That is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
[w] X = 1 IPI 1 <int> [r] r = X
Should act as if there was a full memory barrier, making it so that the read on CPU1 observes the write on CPU0.
