x86: UV: remove uv_flush_tlb_others() WARN_ON



In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c),
the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled.

And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that
most UV owners will use.

We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form.
And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT
is not on.

As Ingo commented:

  > and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity. (mainly
  > because we dont know about atomicity on a non-preempt kernel)

So we drop the WARN_ON.
