macvtap bug: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code

[Thomas Huth <thuth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

 Hi,

I am using macvtap (via KVM/virsh) on a s390 box. With the latest
kernel source from linux-next master branch, I suddenly get the
following error messages in the dmesg output:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: vhost-45891/45892

Apart from these "annoying" error messages (they are repeated
continually while the KVM guest is running / macvtap is in use),
everything still seems to work fine, though.

Since everything was still working fine in v3.10, I did some bisecting
and it seems like this commit introduced this problem:

  commit: ac4e4af1e59e16a018527ffa58d9d3f30bb96ca9
  Subject: macvtap: Consistently use rcu functions

I am not sure how to proceed here, this is my first bug report in this
area, so advice is welcome...
