Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: replace this_cpu_* with raw_cpu_* in panic_bad_stack()

The hardware automatically disable the IRQ interrupt before jumping to the
interrupt or exception vector. Therefore, the preempt_disable() operation
in this_cpu_read() after macro expansion is unnecessary for exception
handler. Use raw_cpu_* instead of this_cpu_* can reduce a few lines of
assembly code. To be honest, the fewer unnecessary operations in exception
handler, the better.
