[PATCH v2 net] net: xfrm: use preempt-safe this_cpu_read() in ipcomp_alloc_tfms()

[Greg Hackmann]

f7c83bcbfaf5 ("net: xfrm: use __this_cpu_read per-cpu helper") added a
__this_cpu_read() call inside ipcomp_alloc_tfms().

At the time, __this_cpu_read() required the caller to either not care
about races or to handle preemption/interrupt issues.  3.15 tightened
the rules around some per-cpu operations, and now __this_cpu_read()
should never be used in a preemptible context.  On 3.15 and later, we
need to use this_cpu_read() instead.

syzkaller reported this leading to the following kernel BUG while
fuzzing sendmsg:

Please explain why we can't revert f7c83bcbfaf5 instead.

Your patch contradicts the comment above the line that you're
changing.
