smp: Run functions concurrently in smp_call_function_many_cond()
Currently, on_each_cpu() and similar functions do not exploit the potential of concurrency: the function is first executed remotely and only then it is executed locally. Functions such as TLB flush can take considerable time, so this provides an opportunity for performance optimization. To do so, modify smp_call_function_many_cond(), to allows the callers to provide a function that should be executed (remotely/locally), and run them concurrently. Keep other smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is today for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in this case locally. smp_call_function_many_cond() does not use the optimized version for a single remote target that smp_call_function_single() implements. For synchronous function call, smp_call_function_single() keeps a call_single_data (which is used for synchronization) on the stack. Interestingly, it seems that not using this optimization provides greater performance improvements (greater speedup with a single remote target than with multiple ones). Presumably, holding data structures that are intended for synchronization on the stack can introduce overheads due to TLB misses and false-sharing when the stack is used for other purposes.
