Subject: staging: lustre: disable preempt while sampling processor id.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit dbeccabf5294e80f7cc9ee566746c42211bed736 ]
Calling smp_processor_id() without disabling preemption
triggers a warning (if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT).
I think the result of cfs_cpt_current() is only used as a hint for
load balancing, rather than as a precise and stable indicator of
the current CPU. So it doesn't need to be called with
preemption disabled.
So disable preemption inside cfs_cpt_current() to silence the warning.
