Ingo,

I am confused. The label ipi_mask_done was introduced in this patch
(the patch under question fixes a circular dependency in this patch):

commit 68bb7bfb7985df2bd15c2dc975cb68b7a901488a
Author: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed May 16 14:53:31 2018 -0700

    X86/Hyper-V: Enable IPI enlightenments

    Hyper-V supports hypercalls to implement IPI; use them.

This patch was committed by Thomas some weeks ago and is in linux-next.
This patch is also in 4.18-rc3.
