Nadav noticed that the cpumask allocations in native_send_call_func_ipi()
are noticeable in microbenchmarks.

Use the new cpumask_or_equal() function to simplify the decision whether
the supplied target CPU mask is either equal to cpu_online_mask or equal to
cpu_online_mask except for the CPU on which the function is invoked.

cpumask_or_equal() or's the target mask and the cpumask of the current CPU
together and compares it to cpu_online_mask.

If the result is false, use the mask based IPI function, otherwise check
whether the current CPU is set in the target mask and invoke either the
send_IPI_all() or the send_IPI_allbutselt() APIC callback.

Make the shorthand decision also depend on the static key which enables
shorthand mode. That allows to remove the extra cpumask comparison with
cpu_callout_mask.
