Do you need to even do that if CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is unset?
Something like:
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
/*
* Need to access the cpu field knowing that
* DEBUG_PAGEALLOC could have unmapped it if
* the mutex owner just released it and exited.
*/
if (probe_kernel_address(&thread->cpu, cpu))
break;
#else
cpu = thread->cpu;
#endif
