Hi John,

The patch below is untested but should fix the problem you reported:

======

cxgb4: fix smp_processor_id() usage in selftests

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled the following call can result in a "BUG: using
smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: ethtool/xxxx" error
message:

    ethtool_self_test()
        cxgb4_self_test()
            cxgb4_selftest_lb_pkt()
                __netif_tx_lock(q->txq, smp_processor_id());  <--- BOOM

Replacing smp_processor_id() by raw_smp_processor_id() is safe in this
context given that __netif_tx_lock() is an inline function that takes a
spinlock and then uses the cpu value.
