Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] coresight: tmc-etf: Do not call smp_processor_id from preemptible

We find the current CPU using smp_processor_id() if the event is not bound
to a CPU, to find the node for memory allocation. Use the safe
numa_node_id() instead, to avoid BUG(). e.g:

 BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: perf/2544
 caller is tmc_alloc_etf_buffer+0x5c/0x60
 CPU: 2 PID: 2544 Comm: perf Not tainted 5.1.0-rc6-147786-g116841e #344
 Hardware name: ARM LTD ARM Juno Development Platform/ARM Juno Development Platform, BIOS EDK II Feb  1 2019
