[raw v1 1/4] Use raw_cpu ops for determining current NUMA node

[Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>]

With the preempt check logic we will get false positives from
these locations. Before the use of __this_cpu ops there were
no checks for preemption present either and smp_raw_processor_id()
was used. See http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html

Use raw_cpu_read() to avoid preemption messages.

Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years.
If the process changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then
that is acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization
and not for correctness.
