ARC: [SMP] optimize IPI send and receive
* Don't send an IPI if receiver already has a pending IPI. Atomically piggyback the new msg with pending msg. * IPI receiver looping on xchg() not required References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/25/232 Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
