Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 52/97] staging: lustre: disable preempt while
 sampling processor id.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit dbeccabf5294e80f7cc9ee566746c42211bed736 ]

Calling smp_processor_id() without disabling preemption
triggers a warning (if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT).
I think the result of cfs_cpt_current() is only used as a hint for
load balancing, rather than as a precise and stable indicator of
the current CPU.  So it doesn't need to be called with
preemption disabled.

So disable preemption inside cfs_cpt_current() to silence the warning.
