MIPS: SMP: Don't increment irq_count multiple times for call function IPIs

The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ()
which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received,
smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls
irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice.

When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call
function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core
receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing
IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is
greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a
core which receives its ticks via broadcast.

This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which
calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through
do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to
avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't
(loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().
