Steven J. Hill 08e9dbd518 mm/vmstat.c: fix vmstat_update() preemption BUG
[ Upstream commit c7f26ccfb2 ]

Attempting to hotplug CPUs with CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS enabled can
cause vmstat_update() to report a BUG due to preemption not being
disabled around smp_processor_id().

Discovered on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Pro with Cavium Octeon II processor.

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
  kworker/1:1/269
  caller is vmstat_update+0x50/0xa0
  CPU: 0 PID: 269 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted
