get_cpu() disables preemption for the entire sched_fork() function. This get_cpu() was introduced in commit: dd41f596 ("sched: cfs core code") ... which also invoked sched_balance_self() and this function required preemption do be off. Today, sched_balance_self() seems to be moved to ->task_fork callback which is invoked while the ->pi_lock is held. set_load_weight() could invoke reweight_task() which then via $callchain might end up in smp_processor_id() but since `update_load' is false this won't happen. I didn't find any this_cpu*() or similar usage during the initialisation of the task_struct. The `cpu' value (from get_cpu()) is only used later in __set_task_cpu() while the ->pi_lock lock is held. Based on this it is possible to remove get_cpu() and use smp_processor_id() for the `cpu' variable without breaking anything.
