In smp_call_function_many_cond(), the local cond_func() is evaluated
after triggering the remote CPU IPIs.
If cond_func() depends on loading shared state updated by other CPU's
IPI handlers func(), then triggering execution of remote CPUs IPI before
evaluating cond_func() may have unexpected consequences.
One example scenario is evaluating a jiffies delay in cond_func(), which
is updated by func() in the IPI handlers. This situation can prevent
execution of periodic cleanup code on the local CPU.
