Subject: [PATCH] fix BUG using smp_processor_id() in preemptible
 thermal_throttle_add_dev

Fix: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible thermal_throttle_add_dev.
We know the cpu number when calling thermal_throttle_add_dev, so we can
remove smp_processor_id call in thermal_throttle_add_dev by supplying 
the cpu number as argument.
