This is also set for per_cpu(cpu_sys_devices, pr->id) in
acpi_processor_add(), via acpi_bind_one().

Moreover, there is some pr->id validation in acpi_processor_add(), so
it seems premature to use it here this way.

I think that ACPI_COMPANION_SET() should be called from here on
per_cpu(cpu_sys_devices, pr->id) after validating pr->id (so the
pr->id validation should all be done here) and then NULL can be passed
as acpi_dev to acpi_bind_one() in acpi_processor_add(). Then, there
will be one physical device corresponding to the processor ACPI device
and no confusion.
