Subject: mm/vmstat.c: fix vmstat_update() preemption BUG
Attempting to hotplug CPUs with CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS enabled
can cause vmstat_update() to report a BUG due to preemption not
being disabled around smp_processor_id(). Discovered on Ubiquiti
EdgeRouter Pro with Cavium Octeon II processor.
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
kworker/1:1/269
caller is vmstat_update+0x50/0xa0
CPU: 0 PID: 269 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted
4.16.0-rc4-Cavium-Octeon-00009-gf83bbd5-dirty #1
Workqueue: mm_percpu_wq vmstat_update
