sched/fair: Get this cpu once in find_new_ilb()
Calling smp_processor_id() on:
- In CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, if preemption/irq is disabled, then it does
not print any warning.
- In CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=n, it doesn't do anything apart from getting
__smp_processor_id
So with both CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y/n, in preemption disabled section
it is better to cache the value. It could save a few cycles. Though
tiny, repeated in loop could add up to a small value.
find_new_ilb is called in interrupt context. So preemption is disabled.
So Hoist the this_cpu out of loop
