[PATCH 17/41] net: Replace __this_cpu_inc in route.c with raw_cpu_inc

[Patch depends on another patch in this series that introduces raw_cpu_ops]

The RT_CACHE_STAT_INC macro triggers the new preemption checks
for __this_cpu ops.

I do not see any other synchronization that would allow the use
of a __this_cpu operation here however in commit
dbd2915ce87e811165da0717f8e159276ebb803e Andrew justifies
the use of raw_smp_processor_id() here because "we do not care"
about races. In the past we agreed that the price of disabling
interrupts here to get consistent counters would be too high.
These counters may be inaccurate due to race conditions.

The use of __this_cpu op improves the situation already from what commit
dbd2915ce87e811165da0717f8e159276ebb803e did since the single instruction
emitted on x86 does not allow the race to occur anymore. However,
non x86 platforms could still experience a race here.
