sched: Provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()

Browse Source 
For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.

In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.

This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.

BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!
