Subject: [PATCH net-next] tun: replace get_cpu_ptr with this_cpu_ptr when bh disabled

tun_xdp_one() runs with local bh disabled. So there is no need to
disable preemption by calling get_cpu_ptr while updating stats. This
patch replaces the use of get_cpu_ptr() with this_cpu_ptr() as a
micro-optimization. Also removes related put_cpu_ptr call.
