[PATCH] x86_64/i386: Remove preempt disable calls in lowlevel IPI

Browse source 
I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt
race whereupon the cpu_online_map was read before disabling preemption;

...
cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map;
int cpu = get_cpu();
cpu_clear(cpu, mask);
...

But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to
be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made
hotplug/preempt safe.
