4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Denis Kirjanov <kda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8a10c06a20ec8097a68fd7a4a1c0e285095b4d2f upstream.
With preemption turned on we can read incorrect throttling state
while being switched to CPU on a different chip.
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/7343
caller is .powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check+0x2c/0x710
CPU: 13 PID: 7343 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.8.0-rc5-dirty #1
