Subject: [patch 12/37] x86/smpboot: Make TSC synchronization function call based
Spin-waiting on the control CPU until the AP reaches the TSC
synchronization is just a waste especially in the case that there is no
synchronization required.
As the synchronization has to run with interrupts disabled the control CPU
part can just be done from a SMP function call. The upcoming AP issues that
call async only in the case that synchronization is required.
