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')
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/612058/

- 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.
