x86: Avoid tlbstate lock if not enough cpus
This one isn't related to previous patch. If online cpus are
below NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS, we don't need the lock. The
comments in the code declares we don't need the check, but a hot
lock still needs an atomic operation and expensive, so add the
check here.
Uses nr_cpu_ids here as suggested by Eric Dumazet.
