Subject: [patch V3 22/25] x86/apic: Remove the shorthand decision logic

All callers of apic->send_IPI_all() and apic->send_IPI_allbutself() contain
the decision logic for shorthand invocation already and invoke
send_IPI_mask() if the prereqisites are not satisfied.

Remove the now redundant decision logic in the 32bit implementation.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

V2: Remove the decision logic now that it is already done in the callers
