Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask()
and calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied
as a parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.

The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a
time via smp_call_function_single().

The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific
code that decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for
a specific request from the common boilerplate code of handling
creating the mask, handling failures etc.

How about:

void *__info = (info);

as to avoid double execution.
