    MIPS: SMP: Drop stop_this_cpu() cpu_foreign_map hack · 92696316

    Commit cccf34e9 ("MIPS: c-r4k: Fix cache flushing for MT cores")
    added the cpu_foreign_map cpumask containing a single VPE from each
    online core, and recalculated it when secondary CPUs are brought up.
    
    stop_this_cpu() was also updated to recalculate cpu_foreign_map, but
    with an additional hack before marking the CPU as offline to copy
    cpu_online_mask into cpu_foreign_map and perform an SMP memory barrier.
    
    This appears to have been intended to prevent cache management IPIs
    being missed when the VPE representing the core in cpu_foreign_map is
    taken offline while other VPEs remain online. Unfortunately there is
    nothing in this hack to prevent r4k_on_each_cpu() from reading the old
    cpu_foreign_map, and smp_call_function_many() from reading that new
    cpu_online_mask with the core's representative VPE marked offline. It
    then wouldn't send an IPI to any online VPEs of that core.
    
    stop_this_cpu() is only actually called in panic and system shutdown /
    halt / reboot situations, in which case all CPUs are going down and we
    don't really need to care about cache management, so drop this hack.
    
    Note that the __cpu_disable() case for CPU hotplug is handled in the
    previous commit, and no synchronisation is needed there due to the use
    of stop_machine() which prevents hotplug from taking place while any CPU
    has disabled preemption (as r4k_on_each_cpu() does).
