x86/percpu: Relax smp_processor_id()
Nadav reported that since this_cpu_read() became asm-volatile, many
smp_processor_id() users generated worse code due to the extra
constraints.
However since smp_processor_id() is reading a stable value, we can use
__this_cpu_read().
While this does reduce text size somewhat, this mostly results in code
movement to .text.unlikely as a result of more/larger .cold.
subfunctions. Less text on the hotpath is good for I$.
