    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!)
