Subject: [PATCH v4] tty/sysrq: replace smp_processor_id() with get_cpu()

The smp_processor_id() shouldn't be called from preemptible code.
Instead use get_cpu() and put_cpu() which disables preemption in
addition to getting the processor id. Enable preemption back after
calling schedule_work() to make sure that the work gets scheduled on all
cores other than the current core. We want to avoid a scenario where
current core's stack trace is printed multiple times and one core's
stack trace isn't printed because of scheduling of current task.

This fixes the following bug:
