Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/smp: Move the call to smp_processor_id() after the early exit

smp_processor_id() accesses the per-cpu variable, so the compiler
is not able to move the call after the early exit on its own.

Also rename "cpu" variable to a more descriptive "this_cpu".

No functional change intended.
