smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func



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.
