Subject: [PATCH v2 04/11] smp: replace smp_call_function_single() with smp_call()

Eliminated the percpu global csd_data and temporarily hook up
to smp_call().

There is no obvious reason or evidence that the differentiation
of xcall of single recipient from that of multiple recipients
can exploit noticeable performance gaining. If something can be
optimized on this matter, it might be from the interrupt level
which has been already addressed by arch_send_call_function_single_ipi()
and arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(). In fact, both have been
taken in to account from smp_call_function_many_cond().

So, it is appropriate to make this change as part of the cross
call interface.

v1 -> v2: removed 'x' from the function names and change XCALL to SMP_CALL from the new macros
