[PATCH v5] net: xfrm: use __this_cpu_read per-cpu helper
this_cpu_ptr/this_cpu_read is faster than per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id())
and can reduce memory accesses.
The latter helper needs to find the offset for current cpu,
and needs more assembler instructions which objdump shows in following.
this_cpu_ptr relocates and address. this_cpu_read() relocates the address
and performs the fetch. this_cpu_read() saves you more instructions
since it can do the relocation and the fetch in one instruction.
per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id()):
1e: 65 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0,%eax

28: 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi

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)
