Currently using smp_call_function() just woke up the corresponding
cpu, but can not break the polling idle loop.

Here using the new sched API wake_up_if_idle() to implement it.

kick_all_cpus_sync has other callers, and those other callers want the
old behavior.  I think this should be a new function.

Yes, seems some current users of kick_all_cpus_sync() need IPI indeed,
will try to send out patch V2 with one new function.
