It doesn't really matter in ext4_mb_new_blocks() about whether the code is rescheduled on any other cpu due to preemption. Because we care about discard_pa_seq only when the block allocation fails and then too we add the seq counter of all the cpus against the initial sampled one to check if anyone has freed any blocks while we were doing allocation. So just use raw_cpu_ptr instead of this_cpu_ptr to avoid this BUG.
