My bad. 'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"): (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()' and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does. (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the call on that CPU. Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the silly semantic bugs in that function.
