Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (fam15h_power) Disable preemption when reading registers

We need to read a bunch of registers on each compute unit and possibly
on the current CPU too. Disable preemption around it. Otherwise, you
get:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: systemd-udevd/327
caller is read_registers+0x6a/0x110 [fam15h_power]
CPU: 3 PID: 327 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.7.0-rc1+ #4
Hardware name: HP HP EliteBook 745 G3/807E, BIOS N73 Ver. 01.08 01/28/2016
