generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless

This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
reasons are below:

1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
   it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
   of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
   to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().

2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
   cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
   between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
   smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
   a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
   only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
   cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.

3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
   generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
   to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.
