In the absence of CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code maintains
thread_info::cpu, and low-level architecture code can access this to
build raw_smp_processor_id(). With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code
maintains task_struct::cpu, which for reasons of hte header soup is not
accessible to low-level arch code.

Instead, we can maintain a percpu variable containing the cpu number.
Non-preemptible code will receive the current CPU's number, while
preemptible code may race (as was previosuly the case), and see a stale
value. Thus, there shouldn't be a change in observable behaviour.

For both the old and new implementation of raw_smp_processor_id(), we
read a syreg into a GPR, add an offset, and load the result. As the
offset is now large, it probably won't be folded into the load, but
otherwise the assembly shouldn't change much.
