Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] smp: Change signatures to use call_single_data_t

Every caller of smp_call_function_single_async() now makes use
of call_single_data_t, which is a size-aligned typedef of
struct __call_single_data.

Changing smp_call_function_single_async() csd parameter to
call_single_data_t makes possible to warn future callers if they
are using an unaligned csd, which can cause it to be split between 2
cachelines, which is usually bad for performance.

Also, for the same reason, change generic_exec_single().
