This will allow SMP implementations to return errors quickly in cases they they know have failed, rather than relying upon __cpu_up() eventually timing out waiting for the cpu_running completion.

Since currently the MIPS kernel is not mapped with memory protection, this does not in itself provide any security benefit, but it still makes sense to make this change. There are also slight code size efficincies from the structure being made read-only, saving 128 bytes of kernel text on a pistachio_defconfig.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

When a call function IPI is received, smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice. When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a core which receives its ticks via broadcast. This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't (loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().
