[RFC PATCH 07/10] ia64: smp: remove call to ipi_call_lock_irq()/ipi_call_unlock_irq()

[Yong Zhang]

From: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect
   call_function.queue and &data->refs, cpu_online_mask is outside of the
   lock. And it's not necessary to protect cpu_online_mask,
   because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up
   when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because
   validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care
   of it.

2) For cpu down issue, stop_machine() will guarantee that no concurrent
   smp_call_fuction() is processing.
