Subject: [PATCH] x86/hyperv: Avoid erroneously sending IPI to 'self'

__send_ipi_mask_ex() uses an optimization: when the target CPU mask is
equal to 'cpu_present_mask' it uses 'HV_GENERIC_SET_ALL' format to avoid
converting the specified cpumask to VP_SET. This case was overlooked when
'exclude_self' parameter was added. As the result, a spurious IPI to
'self' can be send.

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