[patch 4/4] CPU hot-plug support for x86_64

[Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>]

This patch removes the usage of shortcut to send smp_call_function using ALL_BUT_SELF 
shortcut.  This is a problem for an upcomming CPU, and is still not ready to take
this interrupt. Since cpu_online_map is updated with the call_lock held, this 
mechanism should avoid sending IPI to cpu's not yet prepared to participate in this
party.
