Subject: sched/cputime: Don't use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

commit 0e4097c3354e2f5a5ad8affd9dc7f7f7d00bb6b9 upstream.

Recent kernels trigger this warning:

 BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: 99-trinity/181
 caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x19
 CPU: 0 PID: 181 Comm: 99-trinity Not tainted 4.12.0-01059-g2a42eb9 #1
 Call Trace:

As Frederic pointed out:

| Although those sched_clock_cpu() things seem to only matter when the
| sched_clock() is unstable. And that stability is a condition for nohz_full
| to work anyway. So probably sched_clock() alone would be enough.

This patch fixes it by replacing sched_clock_cpu() with sched_clock() to
avoid calling smp_processor_id() in a preemptible context.
