smp/scf: Evaluate local cond_func() before IPI side-effects
In smp_call_function_many_cond(), the local cond_func() is evaluated after triggering the remote CPU IPIs. If cond_func() depends on loading shared state updated by other CPU's IPI handlers func(), then triggering execution of remote CPUs IPI before evaluating cond_func() may have unexpected consequences. One example scenario is evaluating a jiffies delay in cond_func(), which is updated by func() in the IPI handlers. This situation can prevent execution of periodic cleanup code on the local CPU.
