[PATCH 5.15 622/917] powerpc/paravirt: correct preempt debug splat in vcpu_is_preempted()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fda0eb220021a97c1d656434b9340ebf3fc4704a ]

vcpu_is_preempted() can be used outside of preempt-disabled critical
sections, yielding warnings such as:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: systemd-udevd/185

The result of vcpu_is_preempted() is always used speculatively, and the
function does not access per-cpu resources in a (Linux) preempt-unsafe way.
Use raw_smp_processor_id() to avoid such warnings, adding explanatory
comments.
