The call from a preemptible context is intentional, so this really
should just be raw_smp_processor_id(). Do you mind if we fix it with the
following?

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Use raw_smp_processor_id() in
 kvm_pmu_probe_armpmu()

Sebastian reports that commit 1c913a1c35aa ("KVM: arm64: Iterate
arm_pmus list to probe for default PMU") introduced the following splat
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled:

Nonetheless, there's no functional requirement for disabling preemption,
as the cpu # is only used to walk the arm_pmus list. Fix it by using
raw_smp_processor_id() instead.
