x86, hotplug: Move WBINVD back outside the play_dead loop
On processors with hyperthreading, when only one thread is offlined
the other thread can cause a spurious wakeup on the idled thread. We
do not want to re-WBINVD when that happens.
Ideally, we should simply skip WBINVD unless we're the last thread on
a particular core to shut down, but there might be similar issues
elsewhere in the system.
Thus, revert to previous behavior of only WBINVD outside the loop.
Partly as a result, remove the mb()'s around it: they are not
necessary since wbinvd() is a serializing instruction, but they were
intended to make sure the compiler didn't do any funny loop
optimizations.
