send_call_function_single_ipi() may wake an idle CPU without sending an

Should the CPU have no tasks assigned, then it will go back to idle with
pending softirqs and the NOHZ will rightfully complain.

Process pending softirqs on return from flush_smp_call_function_queue().

Fair enough. I'll stick this in tip/sched/smp for Jens and merge that
into tip/sched/core.

Thanks!
