mm: use raw_cpu ops for determining current NUMA node

With the preempt checking logic for __this_cpu_ops we will get false
positives from locations in the code that use numa_node_id.

Before the __this_cpu ops where introduced there were no checks for
preemption present either.  smp_raw_processor_id() was used.  See

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html

Therefore we need to use raw_cpu_read here to avoid false postives.

Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years.  If the process
changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then that is
acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization and not
for correctness.

There were suggestions to implement a raw_numa_node_id in order to do
preempt checks for numa_node_id as well.  But I think we better defer
that to another patch since that would mean investigating how
numa_node_id() is used throughout the kernel which would increase the
scope of this patchset significantly.  After all preemption was never
checked before when numa_node_id() was used.

Some sample traces:
