well, not true, this id is being set in setup_per_cpu_areas()
note the snippet

		if (cpu == boot_cpu_id)
			switch_to_new_gdt(cpu);

but cycle of assignment is done over all possible cpus so
smp_processor_id will be = 0 for BP but definitely it's
confusing and better to check for BP via explicit cpu == boot_cpu_id
I think. Though I might be missing something.
