put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.

The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.

The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable().  The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.

Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

Impact: remove a high latency source

Oleg noticed that we don't strictly need CSD_FLAG_WAIT, rework
the code so that we can use CSD_FLAG_LOCK for both purposes.

Impact: cleanup

disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.

Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.

If you do

	smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...)

then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.

As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.

While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency
reasons.

And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put
uniprocessor-specific code and storage.  It should mirror kernel/smp.c.

Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack.

Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many().
We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version.

(S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently).

We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in
the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp
cpumask.  It's still fairly cheap.

We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data
structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single
rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on
stack).

(Thanks to Hiroshi Shimamoto for spotting several bugs in previous versions!)
