Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which
actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining
cpus in the mask.

I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back
to IPI should this fail.

To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations
now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves.

Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)"
which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero
at this point.
