pcpu_delegate() never returns to its caller. If the target CPU is the
current CPU, it calls __pcpu_delegate(), whose delegate function is not
supposed to return. In any case, even if __pcpu_delegate() unexpectedly
returns, pcpu_delegate() sends SIGP_STOP to the current CPU and waits
in an infinite loop. Annotate pcpu_delegate() with the __noreturn
attribute to improve compiler optimizations.
