Subject: [PATCH] iommu/amd: Use raw_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr() for
 ->flush_queue

get_cpu_ptr() disables preemption and returns the ->flush_queue object
of the current CPU. raw_cpu_ptr() does the same except that it not
disable preemption which means the scheduler can move it to another CPU
after it obtained the per-CPU object.
In this case this is not bad because the data structure itself is
protected with a spin_lock. This change shouldn't matter in general
but on RT it does because the sleeping lock can't be accessed with
disabled preemption.
