powerpc/smp: remove call to ipi_call_lock()/ipi_call_unlock()
1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect
call_function.queue and &data->refs, cpu_online_mask is outside of the
lock. And it's not necessary to protect cpu_online_mask,
because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up
when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because
validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care
of it.
2) For cpu down issue, stop_machine() will guarantee that no concurrent
smp_call_fuction() is processing.
