MIPS: SMP: Drop stop_this_cpu() cpu_foreign_map hack
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).
