[Patch depends on another patch in this series that introduces raw_cpu_ops]
The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the
additional preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.
So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.
