Just to clarify for readers; BPF programs are run with migrate disable,
which means that on RT we can be preempted, which means that per-cpu
operations are trickier (disabling interrupts/preemption).
However, this BPF instruction is about calculating the per-cpu address,
so the look up can be inlined.
It's not a per-cpu *operation*.

Did you try using emit_addr() here? I'd guess that'll be fewer
instructions, no?
