Introduce the schedule_on_each_cpu_cond() function that schedules
a work item on each online CPU for which the supplied condition
function returns true.

This function should be used instead of schedule_on_each_cpu()
when only some of the CPUs have actual work to do and a predicate
function can tell if a certain CPU does or does not have work to do,
thus saving unneeded wakeups and schedules.
