Subject: [PATCHv2 1/1] ext4: mballoc: Use this_cpu_read instead of this_cpu_ptr

Simplify reading a seq variable by directly using this_cpu_read API
instead of doing this_cpu_ptr and then dereferencing it.

This also avoid the below kernel BUG: which happens when
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: syz-fuzzer/6927
caller is ext4_mb_new_blocks+0xa4d/0x3b70 fs/ext4/mballoc.c:4711
CPU: 1 PID: 6927 Comm: syz-fuzzer Not tainted 5.7.0-next-20200602-syzkaller #0
