iommu/iova: Don't disable preempt around this_cpu_ptr()
Commit 583248e6 ("iommu/iova: Disable preemption around use of this_cpu_ptr()") disables preemption while accessing a per-CPU variable. This does keep lockdep quiet. However I don't see the point why it is bad if we get migrated after its access to another CPU. __iova_rcache_insert() and __iova_rcache_get() immediately locks the variable after obtaining it - before accessing its members. _If_ we get migrated away after retrieving the address of cpu_rcache before taking the lock then the *other* task on the same CPU will retrieve the same address of cpu_rcache and will spin on the lock. alloc_iova_fast() disables preemption while invoking free_cpu_cached_iovas() on each CPU. The function itself uses per_cpu_ptr() which does not trigger a warning (like this_cpu_ptr() does). It _could_ make sense to use get_online_cpus() instead but the we have a hotplug notifier for CPU down (and none for up) so we are good.
