commit 22f12f0df802cea865672d8f39fbebdc03981050 upstream.

When booting Linux as Xen guest with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC, the following
splat appears:

[    0.043810] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...

This is because get_cpu() in xen_evtchn_fifo_init() will disable
preemption, but __get_free_page() might sleep (GFP_ATOMIC is not set).

xen_evtchn_fifo_init() will always be called before SMP is initialized,
so {get,put}_cpu() could be replaced by a simple smp_processor_id().

This also avoid to modify evtchn_fifo_alloc_control_block that will be
called in other context.
