The smp_processor_id() shouldn't be called from preemptible code.
Instead use get_cpu() and put_cpu() which disables preemption in
addition to getting the processor id. This fixes the following bug:

Why not call put_cpu() right here?
if (regs)
show_regs(regs);
else
show_stack(NULL, NULL, KERN_INFO);
schedule_work(&sysrq_showallcpus);
+ put_cpu();
Why wait so long here after you have scheduled work? Please drop the
cpu reference right away, you don't need to hold it for this length of
time, right?
As I understand it, this way, schedule_work() will queue the work on the
"gotten" (current) CPU. So sysrq_showregs_othercpus() will really dump
other than the "gotten" cpu.
If that is the case, it indeed should have been described in the commit log.
