Subject: [PATCH] nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@...hat.com>

nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is
an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also
nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context.

Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and
migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus
permitting the use of spin_lock.

Fixes: 5212e11fde4d ("nd_btt: atomic sector updates")
