The 'ip_tables: NUMA-aware allocation' patch
(http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.16.git;a=commit;h=6d1273850cac8db77c462caaa145b813d93adc55)
introduced a problem with get_cpu()/put_cpu()
The problem is that get_cpu() disables preemption and the thread is not
allowed to sleep.
As the intent was only to give a hint, relax the enforcement and switch to a
hint : If the current thread is preempted and migrated to another cpu, this is
not a problem. Most of the time, thread wont be migrated anyway.
This patch removes get_cpu()/put_cpu() pairs and uses raw_smp_processor_id()
were appropriate.
