Subject[PATCH v2] ARM: spectre-v2: fix smp_processor_id() warning
From
syzbot is reporting that CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR=y +
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y on ARM32 causes "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible code" message [1], for this check was not designed to handle
attempts to access kernel memory like

----------
int main() { return *(char *) -1; }
----------

. Although Russell King commented that this BUG: message might help finding
possible exploit attempts [2], this is not a kernel's problem that worth
giving up fuzz testing.

This patch explicitly disables preemption and uses raw_smp_processor_id().
