arc_pmu_device_probe: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1

[abrodkin]

With enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT the following stack-trace gets printed on SMP ARC platforms with performance counters interrupts:

ARC perf        : 8 counters (48 bits), 128 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1

That happens because of use of this_cpu_ptr() in https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17/source/arch/arc/kernel/perf_event.c#L811 without explicitly disabled preemption, see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/this_cpu_ops.html#special-operations.

We need either to re-work that code so that it uses preemption-agnostic functions or explicitly disable preemption around that code.

@kokas-a could you please rebase your proposed fix on top of the current Linus' master branch and re-send it to the mailing list. We need to make sure it gets accepted in the upstream project. And in the meantime also create a pull-request here against arc64 branch with that same fix, so we have it in our tree as well.
