Doesn't make sense.

This will cause a link error as smp.c is not built for uniprocessor
builds.

There won't be any other CPUs to send an IPI to - and all places which
call this are protected by a check for cpu == smp_processor_id() - in
other words, this will never be called for the current CPU.

This results in an empty CPU mask.  It might be better to do instead:

	if (!cpus_empty(mask))
