Subject: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code

Hello,

Got this error today:

My second though was - should we call smp_processor_id/get_id in thermal_throttle_add_dev?
We know cpu when calling thermal_throttle_add_dev (in thermal_throttle_cpu_callback and 
thermal_throttle_init_device), so we can pass cpu when calling it.

Which one is the correct?
