Subject: MIPS: Fix accessing to per-cpu data when flushing the cache

From: Ralf Baechle <[email protected]>

commit ff522058bd717506b2fa066fa564657f2b86477e upstream.

This fixes the following issue

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: kjournald/1761
caller is blast_dcache32+0x30/0x254
Call Trace:

Caches in most systems are identical - but not always, so we can't avoid
the use of smp_call_function() by just looking at the boot CPU's data,
have to fiddle with preemption instead.
