[PATCH] ARM: arch_timer: Silence debug preempt warnings

Hot-plugging with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y on a device with arm
architected timers causes a slew of "using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible" warnings:

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: sh/111
  caller is arch_timer_cpu_notify+0x14/0xc8

This happens because sometimes the cpu notifier, arch_timer_cpu_notify(),
is called in preemptible context but we use this_cpu_ptr()
to retrieve the clockevent unconditionally. We're only going to
actually use the pointer in non-preemptible context though,
so use __this_cpu_ptr() instead to avoid the preemptible checks
and silence the warning.
