Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: Send tlb flush IPIs to online cpus only

Mandeep reports:
We are seeing a softlockup reporting during shutdown. The stack
trace shows us that we are inside default_send_IPI_mask_logical:

 BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [lmt-udev:23605]

Before the softlock, we see the following kernel warning:

 WARNING: at ../../arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:113 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x58/0x73()

So we are sending an IPI to a cpu which is now offline. Once a cpu is offline,
it will no longer respond to IPIs. This explains the softlockup.

A cpu in the mm_cpumask could go offline before we send the invalidate
IPI causing us to wait forever. Avoid this by sending the IPI to only the
online cpus.

[Since flush_tlb_others_ipi() is always called with preempt disabled, it is
not possible for a CPU to go offline once we enter this function, because
CPU offline goes through the stop_machine() stuff (which cannot proceed until
all preempt disabled sections are exited). So we don't have to worry about
any race between CPU offline and the target cpumask calculation in
flush_tlb_others_ipi().]
