Subject: [PATCH 03/48] modules: Use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.

[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.
