Subject[PATCH 0/9] use this_cpu_ptr instead of per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id())
this_cpu_ptr is faster than per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id()).
The latter helper needs to find the offset for current cpu,
and needs more assembler instructions which objdump shows in following.


per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id()):
1e: 65 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0,%eax
26: 48 98 cltq
28: 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi
2a: 48 c7 c7 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdi
31: 48 8b 04 c5 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(,%rax,8),%rax
39: c7 44 10 04 14 00 00 00 movl $0x14,0x4(%rax,%rdx,1)

this_cpu_ptr(p)
1e: 65 48 03 14 25 00 00 00 00 add %gs:0x0,%rdx
27: 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi
29: c7 42 04 14 00 00 00 movl $0x14,0x4(%rdx)
