KVM: make make_all_cpus_request() lockless
Now, we have 'vcpu->mode' to judge whether need to send ipi to other cpus, this way is very exact, so checking request bit is needless, then we can drop the spinlock let it's collateral Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
