* Don't send IPI to itself. With irqs disabled,

* cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down()
* using stop_machine_run(). Since we're in irqs disabled
* section, stop_machine_run() is not exectuting, hence
* the cpu_online_map is stable.
*
* However, a cpu might have been offlined _just_ before
* we disabled irqs while entering here.
* And rcu subsystem might not yet have handled the CPU_DEAD
* notification, leading to the offlined cpu's bit
* being set in the rcp->cpumask.
*
* Hence cpumask = (rcp->cpumask & cpu_online_map) to prevent
* sending smp_reschedule() to an offlined CPU.
