Subject: [PATCH 3.12 106/133] net: rds: fix per-cpu helper usage

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@...ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit c196403b79aa241c3fefb3ee5bb328aa7c5cc860 ]

commit ae4b46e9d "net: rds: use this_cpu_* per-cpu helper" broke per-cpu
handling for rds. chpfirst is the result of __this_cpu_read(), so it is
an absolute pointer and not __percpu. Therefore, __this_cpu_write()
should not operate on chpfirst, but rather on cache->percpu->first, just
like __this_cpu_read() did before.
