[PATCH][RT][PPC64] Fix preempt unsafe paths accessing per_cpu variables

[Chirag Jog <chirag@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,
This patch fixes various paths in the -rt kernel on powerpc64 where per_cpu
variables are accessed in a preempt unsafe way.
When a power box with -rt kernel is booted, multiple BUG messages are
generated "BUG: init:1 task might have lost a preemption check!".
After booting a kernel with these patches applied, these messages
don't appear.

Also I ran the realtime tests from ltp to ensure the stability.
