printk: Fix wake_up_klogd() vs cpu hotplug

wake_up_klogd() may get called from preemptible context but uses
__raw_get_cpu_var() to write to a per cpu variable. If it gets preempted
between getting the address and writing to it, the cpu in question could be
offline if the process gets scheduled back and hence writes to the per cpu data
of an offline cpu.

This buggy behaviour was introduced with fa33507a "printk: robustify
printk, fix #2" which was supposed to fix a "using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible" warning.

Let's use this_cpu_write() instead which disables preemption and makes sure
that the outlined scenario cannot happen.
