The kernel test robot has reported that the use of __this_cpu_add()
causes bug messages like:

  BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ...

This is only an issue on preempt kernel where preemption can happen in
the middle of a percpu operation. We are still using __this_cpu_*() for
!preempt kernel to avoid additional overhead in case CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT
is set.

 v2: Simplify the condition to just preempt or !preempt.
