Yap, much better than opencoding on_each_cpu_mask() :-)

Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (fam15h_power) Disable preemption when reading
 registers

We need to read a bunch of registers on each compute unit and possibly
on the current CPU too. Disable preemption around it. Otherwise, you
get:

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: systemd-udevd/327
  caller is read_registers+0x6a/0x110 [fam15h_power]
  CPU: 3 PID: 327 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.7.0-rc1+ #4
  Hardware name: HP HP EliteBook 745 G3/807E, BIOS N73 Ver. 01.08 01/28/2016
