Make sure to prod idle CPUs so they call klp_update_patch_state().

This caused a build regression on non-SMP kernels:

x86_64-linux-ld: kernel/livepatch/transition.o: in function
`klp_try_complete_transition':
transition.c:(.text+0x106e): undefined reference to `wake_up_if_idle'

Maybe add a IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP) check to one of the if() conditions?
