Thanks Ingo, there is the new version.

From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@...fujitsu.com>
Subject: [PATCH] x86, tlb: small micro-optimization for native_flush_tlb_others

native_flush_tlb_others is called from:
flush_tlb_current_task
flush_tlb_mm
flush_tlb_page

All these functions disable preemption explicitly, so we can use smp_processor_id
instead of get_cpu and put_cpu
