Subject: [PATCH v2] x86, mm: only wait for flushes from online cpus

A cpu in the mm_cpumask could go offline before we send the invalidate
IPI causing us to wait forever. Avoid this by only waiting for online
cpus.

We are seeing a softlockup reporting during shutdown. The stack
trace shows us that we are inside default_send_IPI_mask_logical:

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [lmt-udev:23605]

Before the softlock, we see the following kernel warning:

WARNING: at ../../arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:113 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x58/0x73()

[<8139d7f7>] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x26

So we are sending an IPI to a cpu which is now offline. Once a cpu is offline,
it will no longer respond to IPIs. This explains the softlockup.

Changes in V2:
* bitmap_and is not atomic so use a temporary bitmask
