I don't mind personally. We indeed have this smp_processor_id() that
does the check already. But that's also for readability: reviewers
that are used to deal with per cpu datas are also used to see
per_cpu() for remote percpu data access and get_cpu_var() for local
percpu.
Plus some archs may override their __my_cpu_offset implementation
to provide a faster access.
