smp: have smp_call_function_single() detect invalid CPUs
Have smp_call_function_single() return invalid CPU indicies and return -ENXIO. This function is already executed inside a get_cpu()..put_cpu() which locks out CPU removal, so rather than having the higher layers doing another layer of locking to guard against unplugged CPUs do the test here.
