Subject: [PATCH 4.7 104/143] dm round robin: do not use this_cpu_ptr() without having preemption disabled

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

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

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 802934b2cfde463b72cc1b9bc1c081895a90be53 upstream.

Use local_irq_save() to disable preemption before calling
this_cpu_ptr().

Reported-by: Benjamin Block <bblock@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Fixes: b0b477c7e0dd ("dm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'")
