Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer).
It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send
an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy
with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that
case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying
reason for why those empty mask cases happened.
This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the
current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be
sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is
empty.
The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just
the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change
flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that,
the cpumask was no longer thread-local.
Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of
'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush
routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing
it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush
routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that
could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other
CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.

Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers
Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.
x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.
Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

Move mach_ipi.h definitions into genapic.h.

Our send_IPI_*() methods and definitions are a twisted mess: the same
symbol is defined to different things depending on .config details,
in a non-transparent way.
- spread out the quirks into separately named per apic driver methods
- prefix the standard PC methods with default_
- get rid of wrapper macro obfuscation
- clean up various details

Impact: cleanup
Now that it's unified, move the (SMP) TLB flushing code from arch/x86/kernel/
to arch/x86/mm/, where it belongs logically.
