Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu(). Just use
smp_call_fuction_single() here.
This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,
due to

work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.
Valdis Kletnieks also reports that this causes 70-90 forks per second on
his hardware.

[ Made it use smp_call_function_many() instead of looping over cpu's
with smp_call_function_single() - Linus ]
