[PATCH v4 3/6] smp: add function to execute a function synchronously on a cpu

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

On some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptop) some hardware
related functions (e.g. SMIs) are to be executed on physical cpu 0
only. Instead of open coding such a functionality multiple times in
the kernel add a service function for this purpose. This will enable
the possibility to take special measures in virtualized environments
like Xen, too.

V4: change return value in case of illegal cpu as requested by Peter Zijlstra
    make pinning of vcpu an option as suggested by Peter Zijlstra

V2: instead of manipulating the allowed set of cpus use cpu specific
    workqueue as requested by Peter Zijlstra
