Subject: [BUG] using smp_processor_id() in preemptible

Hi Ingo,

while running latencytop, got the following:

...
[  775.663239] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: latencytop/6585

I am running 2.6.28-rc4-00355-g9c7c354 and, after taking a look at the code, it
looks like the problem is in commit 7cbaef9c83e58bbd4bdd534b09052b6c5ec457d5,
where native_sched_clock is modified to use __cycles_2_ns instead of
cycles_2_ns.
