[PATCH] x86: UV cleanup

[Cliff Wickman]

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

This patch tweaks a couple things:

- uv_flush_tlb_others()
  the WARN_ON(!in_atomic()); fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled

  The #ifdef may not be the right fix. The fix is probably in the
  in_atomic macro, but I'm not sure what in_atomic() should return
  if CONFIG_PREEMPT is turned off.  I tested making it return 1 in that
  case, but that yielded tons of warnings.

  The simpler fix for tlb_uv.c would be to just drop the WARN_ON.

- uv_flush_send_and_wait() should return a pointer if the broadcast
  remote tlb shootdown requests fail. That causes the conventional IPI
  method of shootdown to be used.

Diffed against 2.6.29-rc2
  (Ingo's tree)
