Subject: [patch 1/8 v4] x86, UV: smp_processor_id in a preemptable region

Fix a call by tunables_write() to smp_processor_id() within a preemptable
region.
Call get_cpu()/put_cpu() around the region where the returned cpu
number is actually used, which makes it non-preemptable.

Diffed against 3.0.0-rc3

A DEBUG_PREEMPT warning is prevented.
UV does not support cpu hotplug yet, but this is a step toward that ability.
