smp: Add function to execute a function synchronously on a CPU

On some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptop) some hardware
related functions (e.g. SMIs) are to be executed on physical CPU 0
only. Instead of open coding such a functionality multiple times in
the kernel add a service function for this purpose. This will enable
the possibility to take special measures in virtualized environments
like Xen, too.
