We have accumulated three of them, plus a hidden similar 4th construct
from smp_processor_id(). Latch the result of the latter into a local
variable and use the slightly more efficient per_cpu() instead.

A 5th such construct is "current", yet to replace that we'd need to open-
code both it (i.e. get_current()) and then also smp_processor_id(). I
wasn't quite sure whether that would be deemed acceptable.

Like indicated in the earlier patch, this similarly leads to the function
actually being inlined (and hence generated code size actually growing) in
gcc16 debug builds. In release builds (with older gcc) the function is
being inlined no matter what. Overall, having looked at generated code
differences, I'm not quite sure anymore whether the earlier observed
inefficiency with repeated this_cpu() really is much of an issue (here or
maybe even more generally).
