 <3>BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rwsem.c:20
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
==
This is because handle_IPI() accesses call_data, which is NULL.

The scenario is

1. on CPU A: smp_call_funcion() is called.
2. on CPU A: ncpus = num_online_cpus() - 1 is called. set ncpus=X.
3. on CPU B: by cpu_hotplug, some cpus comes up to be online. changes online_map.
4. on CPU A: smp_call_function() sends IPI. The targets of IPI is determined by
   cpu_online_map(), which was changed. Then, IPIs are sent to *X+1* processors.
5. on CPU A: wait for X(=ncpus) acks. 
6. on CPU A: after getting all Acks. set call_data = NULL
7. on some other cpu, which received *delayed* IPI(by some irq-disable ops)
   will access call_data and panics.

This patch moves ncpus=num_online_cpu() under ipi_call_lock.
x86 implemtation does this.
