Mips SMP builds fail with error messages similar to the following.

arch/mips/kernel/smp.c:211:2: error:
        passing argument 2 of 'cpumask_set_cpu' discards 'volatile'
        qualifier from pointer target type
arch/mips/kernel/process.c:52:2: error:
        passing argument 2 of 'cpumask_test_cpu' discards 'volatile'
        qualifier from pointer target type
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/smp.c:242:2: error:
        passing argument 2 of 'cpumask_clear_cpu' discards 'volatile'
        qualifier from pointer target type

cpu_callin_map is declared as volatile variable, but passed to various
functions with non-volatile arguments. Make it non-volatile and add a
memory barrier at the one location where volatile might be needed.
