Subject: [PATCH 3.16 279/328] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use get/put_cpu() in
 vmbus_connect()

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dexuan Cui <decui@...rosoft.com>

commit 41e270f6898e7502be9fd6920ee0a108ca259d36 upstream.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, I always see this warning:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]

Fix the false warning by using get/put_cpu().

Here vmbus_connect() sends a message to the host and waits for the
host's response. The host will deliver the response message and an
interrupt on CPU msg->target_vcpu, and later the interrupt handler
will wake up vmbus_connect(). vmbus_connect() doesn't really have
to run on the same cpu as CPU msg->target_vcpu, so it's safe to
call put_cpu() just here.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - smp_processor_id() is only used once here
 - Adjust context]
