Under SMP, when a thread is marked aborting, this thread may still
be running on another CPU. However, if there is only one thread
available to run, this thread may be selected to run again due to
next_up() not checking for the aborting state. Moreover, when
there is no IPI to signal to others k_thread_abort() being called,
the k_thread_abort() target thread is marked dead after a new
thread is selected to run. This causes the original thread calling
k_thread_abort() to mistaken that target thread is no longer
running and returns.
Note that, with working IPI, z_sched_ipi() is called as an ISR
to mark the target thread dead. A new thread is then selected to
run, so that the target thread would not be selected due to it
being dead.
This moves the code to mark thread dead into next_up(), where
the next best thread is selected, and the current thread being
swapped out. z_sched_ipi() now becomes an empty function, and
calls to it are removed.
