Revert "sched/core: Do not use smp_processor_id() with preempt enabled in smpboot_thread_fn()"
This reverts commit 4fa5cd5245b627db88c9ca08ae442373b02596b4. The original change widens a preempt-off section, to avoid a seemingly unsafe smp_processor_id() use. During review I overlooked two facts: - The code to calls a non-trivial function callback: ht->park(td->cpu); ... which might (and does occasionally) sleep, triggering the warning. - More importantly, as pointed out by Peter Zijlstra, using smp_processor_id() in that context is safe, if it's done from a kernel thread that is pinned to a single CPU - which is the case here. So revert to the original code that enables preemption sooner.
