[Bionic][PATCH 1/3] powerpc/crash: Remove the test for cpu_online in the IPI callback

[Joseph Salisbury]

From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora at gmail.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758206

Our check was extra cautious, we've audited crash_send_ipi
and it sends an IPI only to online CPU's. Removal of this
check should have not functional impact on crash kdump.
