wonder if the !cpus case would be worth moving into smp_call_function_many.

smp_call_function_many() might also not kick any cpu, so we could make
it return if it actually kicked/called this on any cpu. Then you could
even get rid of the special handling of cpumask_empty(cpus) here and
simply return the result of smp_call_function_many.

Is the !! really needed here? I think not.

I like this from a cleanup point as well.
