When XPC is being shutdown (i.e., rmmod, reboot) it doesn't ensure that
other partitions with whom it was connected have completely disengaged
from any attempt at cross-partition memory references. This can lead to
MCAs in any of these other partitions when the partition is reset.

XPC calls smp_processor_id() twice from xpc_setup_infrastructure() with
preemption enabled, which gets flagged if 'DEBUG_PREEMPT=y'. This patch
replaces the two calls to smp_processor_id() by a single call to
raw_smp_processor_id() since any CPU within the partition will do.
