cpumask: smp_call_function_many()

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!)
