cpufreq: powernv: Move smp_call_function_any() out of irq safe block
Fix a WARN_ON caused by smp_call_function_any() when irq is disabled,
because of changes made in the patch ('cpufreq: powernv: Ramp-down
global pstate slower than local-pstate')

- Calling smp_call_function_any() with interrupt disabled (through
spin_lock_irqsave) could cause a deadlock, as smp_call_function_any()
relies on the IPI to complete. This is detected in the
smp_call_function_any() call and hence the WARN_ON.
- As the spinlock (gpstates->lock) is only used to synchronize access of
global_pstate_info between timer irq handler and target_index calls. And
the timer irq handler just try_locks() hence it would not cause a
deadlock. Hence could do without making spinlocks irq safe.
- As the smp_call_function_any() is a blocking call and does not access
global_pstates_info, it could reduce the critcal section by moving
smp_call_function_any() after giving up the lock.
