generic-ipi: eliminate spurious pointless WARN_ON()s

Namely during early boot, the panic() or BUG() paths may end up in
smp_call_function_*() with just a single online CPU. In that situation
the warnings generated are not only meaningless, but also result in
relevant output being cluttered.

Therefore, defer the WARN_ON() checks until after the (unaffected from
the problem that is being attempted to be detected here) cases have
been handled.
