sparc64: Call xcall_deliver() directly in some cases.

Browse source

For these cases the callers make sure:

1) The cpus indicated are online.

2) The current cpu is not in the list of indicated cpus.

Therefore we can pass a pointer to the mask directly.

One of the motivations in this transformation is to make use of
"&cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)" which evaluates to a pointer to constant
data in the kernel and thus takes up no stack space.

Hopefully someone in the future will change the interface of
arch_send_call_function_ipi() such that it passes a const cpumask_t
pointer so that this will optimize ever further.
