This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired
by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra.  This version adds #ifdef to
permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all
smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single().

If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags
field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by
providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems.

It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node
are really needed.

[ paulmck: Apply Boqun Feng feedback on 32-bit builds. ]

<title>smp, irq_work: Continue smp_call_function*() and irq_work*() integration</title>

Instead of relying on BUG_ON() to ensure the various data structures
line up, use a bunch of horrible unions to make it all automatic.

Much of the union magic is to ensure irq_work and smp_call_function do
not (yet) see the members of their respective data structures change
name.
