[PATCH v4 02/12] smp: Enable preemption early in smp_call_function_single

["Chuyi Zhou" <zhouchuyi@bytedance.com>]

Now smp_call_function_single() disables preemption mainly for the following
reasons:

- To protect the per-cpu csd_data from concurrent modification by other
tasks on the current CPU in the !wait case. For the wait case,
synchronization is not a concern as on-stack csd is used.

- To prevent the remote online CPU from being offlined. Specifically, we
want to ensure that no new IPIs are queued after smpcfd_dying_cpu() has
finished.

Disabling preemption for the entire execution is unnecessary, especially
csd_lock_wait() part does not require preemption protection. This patch
enables preemption before csd_lock_wait() to reduce the preemption-disabled
critical section.
