powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT
[ Upstream commit eac030b22ea12cdfcbb2e941c21c03964403c63f ]
lppaca_shared_proc() takes a pointer to the lppaca which is typically
accessed through get_lppaca(). With DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, this leads
to checking if preemption is enabled, for example:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: grep/10693
caller is lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
CPU: 4 PID: 10693 Comm: grep Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3 #2
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl+0x154/0x200 (unreliable)
check_preemption_disabled+0x214/0x220
lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
...
This isn't actually a problem however, as it does not matter which
lppaca is accessed, the shared proc state will be the same.
vcpudispatch_stats_procfs_init() already works around this by disabling
preemption, but the lparcfg code does not, erroring any time
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is accessed with DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.
Instead of disabling preemption on the caller side, rework
lppaca_shared_proc() to not take a pointer and instead directly access
the lppaca, bypassing any potential preemption checks.
