Revert "smp: Give WARN()ing if in_interrupt() when calling smp_call_function_many()/single()"

This reverts commit b29f39c7c3e75a741a7da88244ec707f293ec04c.

Fengguang Wu reported that the commit triggers a bogus warning
on the current networking tree:

The intention of the warning is to warn about IPIs generated from
hardirq contexts. But in_interrupt() will also warn from
softirq-disabled contexts.

The warning should probably use in_irq() - but that primitive
is not avaiable on non-genirq platform. So this change needs
more work - revert it until it's ready.
