Subject: [PATCH 2/2] smp: allow on_each_cpu() to be called while
 early_boot_irqs_disabled status to init/main.c

percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in turn may
call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes.  The function of on_each_cpu() can
be done safely while IRQ is disabled during early boot but it assumed
that the function is always called with local IRQ enabled which ended
up enabling local IRQ prematurely during boot and triggering a couple
of warnings.

This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many() such
on_each_cpu() can be used safely while early_boot_irqs_disabled is
set.
