From: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang@windriver.com>
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.
