Subject: [PATCH] [ARM] Unconditional call to smp_cross_call on UP crashes

omap2plus_defconfig builds with SMP & SMP_ON_UP set.
On beagle (which is UP) is_smp() returns false and we don't call
smp_init_cpus which in turn does not initialize smp_cross_call which
remains NULL.

When issuing a reboot we OOPS with a NULL dereference on stop smp_call.

Fixed by checking is_smp in smp_send_stop()
